youtube-dl and Streisand Effect continue to educate/empower users worldwide

and a quote/snippet from that last link:

"Stream-Rippers are Not Needed

What our little quest shows, however, is that there doesn’t appear to be any encryption to stop average users from downloading files in a browser. Anyone can download audio and video from YouTube without a dedicated stream-ripping tool.

That leads us to the final question, which we will leave unanswered. Or perhaps it answers itself. If youtube-dl is violating the DMCA because it allows people to download audio from YouTube, should browsers such as Chrome be outlawed as well?"

wanted to add some links for your convenience

original project:
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

and a fork:
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

sharing is caring

Santos:
I would add that  yt-dlp  is better at handling throttled connections, youtube-dl (while justified) doesn't improve it and several recent version are always being capped.

vinceASPECT:
Yes

.......i just use the  two simple free web sites below to watch youtube videos on Raspberry Pi ZERO computers or above..........

You just need a simple Text web browser  (Links.tcz)  and the free "FFPLAY" media player......
 ............BOTH are available on Tinycore for "Raspberry Pi ZERO" or above........and also for any regular computers above that such as (INTEL or AMD Laptops) using regular Tinycore.

This all works for both Raspberry Pi's with Picore 32 or 64 bit........and regular intel/amd Tinycore
machines at 32 or 64 bit

1) https://invidious-us.kavin.rocks/watch?v=c_Ab2F8UwvQ
2) www.genyt.net

INSTRUCTIONS BELOW

a) You simply open your Text web browser at 1) above.
b) You Search a video list of interest such as  "Alaska"
c) Your results in (b) are an exact youtube search......you select a video from the list (or next page etc)
Right click to copy it's video location
d) You open another text web browser at address (2)  above.
e) You PASTE into the search your COPY from (c) above.... and delete anything before the letter "v"
f) Then hit search..........your "Alaska" video will appear
g) Click the "Alaska video" and scroll down to click "generate download links"
h) Choose a "download link"  that suites your desire e.g 3GP 144............ and right click to copy the video link
i) Open your FFPLAY media player  (AS SHOWN BELOW)  and PASTE that video link in and watch the "ALaska video"

$tcl.................ffplay -fast -framedrop "THE VIDEO LINK.3GP"                 (Alaska)

OR for more streamlined playback use CPU FLAGS with an example below  for Raspberry Pi ZERO boards
...........

$tcl ................ffplay -fast -framedrop -cpuflags -armv6 "THE VIDEO LINK.3GP"                (Alaska)

(you may also need the flag  "-i"  (see below)

$tcl ................ffplay -i -fast -framedrop -cpuflags -armv6 "THE VIDEO LINK.3GP"                (Alaska)

The thread about FFPLAY and youtube is below.  Thanks.

It talks about 64 bit Raspberry Pi.........OR........... 32 bit Raspberry Pi.......

all this theory also works for live RADIO and MUSIC streams.........where you also use the flag
"-nodisp" to get rid of the screen

Santos:
Good workflow.

You can always try:
-w3m (to have tabs navigations and lots of cool features to bind specials urls to be opened with your custom command line, or you can use the embedded yt-dlp search function)
-GNU screen (to switch, copy, paste and keep your sessions active, handy if you need multiple terms)
-mplayer (at least on x86 is unbeatable)

Do check out  yt-dlp '$URL' -F to be aware of codecs. webm is superior with minor performance impact.
