"youtube-dl.exe" from https://youtube-dl.org/
The pipe does not work on Windows, does it?

[mederi]

Any better than this batch script "youtube-dl.bat"?

Code: Select all

@echo off set VLC="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" set /p yturl=Youtube URL (right-click): youtube-dl.exe -F %yturl:&=^&% set /p ytdlfmt=Format: youtube-dl.exe -g -f %ytdlfmt% %yturl:&=^&% > yt-dl.m3u echo VLC... %VLC% --meta-title=youtube-dl yt-dl.m3u

is there a tutorial that teaches how to use this? because I'm new to all this and I don't understand these things yet

[Lotesdelere]

Youtube-DL is no longer updated anymore so you have to you have to edit the script and to replace youtube-dl.exe with yt-dlp.exe and to set the correct path to VLC.exe.
Of course, you need to download YT-DLP first, then you just run the .BAT file.

Actually Youtube-DL is updated back again, though it fell way behind YT-DLP technically in the mean time.
