What do you use to download videos?


Sometimes I want to download a video, but there is no download option most of the time. How do you download videos?

I pay for YouTube premium and Nebula which both let me download videos. I use it to save videos for when I travel. I also sometimes live off grid with a Starlink and I'll download videos so I can turn Starlink off to save power.

Literally Using ffmpeg to download m3u8 videos these days. Whenever they need a header i proxy that url via nginx

An app called ClipGrab works well enough for me:

ytp-dl for everything

Synology’s download manager - which is an amalgamation of tools, but for video it’s ytp-dl

It works great.
