About this project
yt-dlp is a command-line audio and video downloader written in Python, with support for thousands of sites. It began as a fork of youtube-dl, building on the now-inactive youtube-dlc. Its extensive option set covers video selection and formats, subtitles, thumbnails, authentication, post-processing, SponsorBlock integration and configuration files, making it suited to anyone who wants fine-grained control over downloading media from the terminal.
