YT downloader

iamstop · 2025-03-04 14:45:36

Not sure if this is ok to post here. Delete if not. I'm putting on a Wu Tang tribute night. The place has two TVs. I want to D/L as much Wu Tang videos from YT as possible to have them on loop on the TVs. Anyone recommend a good quick downloader for YT? Thanks prior to.

yt-dlp is excellent if you're comfortable with the command-line: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
However, I can't imagine downloading YT videos for public display at an event is licence-compliant

Appreciate your concern, but I'm not. I'm a DJ, playing other people's tunes is what I do. Adding some visuals is the icing. It's a tribute night. I'm showing love.

If you want something with a GUI, I've used JDownloader 2 for YouTube videos.
