Tutorial: Downloading a video - TheOOF10/Simple-Youtube-DL GitHub Wiki

First launch the script but add a youtube link as an argument Example: python3 Simple-YT-DL.py https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB1XQYDbzOE (replace python3 with python if it doesn't work) You can also add a custom filename as an argument by adding -o and then the file name (don't forget the extension) (supported extensions: mp4, mkv, avi, flv, avi, ogg, mp3) Example: python3 Simple-YT-DL.py https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB1XQYDbzOE vid.mp4 If it's the first time running the script it will create a configuration file and ask you if you want to download at 60fps in default (60fps Downloading is only avaible on 1080p+ but even then it might not be available) then the script will ask you if you want to download in video or just the audio lastly if you selected video it will ask you in which resolution you want the video to be (answer in number) (supported resolutions: 360p 720p 1080p 1440p 4K) And there you have it the video should download and then it should appear in the same directory as the script
