Feature Request - Add youtube-dlg

[udgtehsy]

Feature Request Solves...

This would allow me to download videos on my phone without having to worry about using an app on my phone that might not work.

Proposed Solution:

The solution is a script that installs pip and python, and then installs youtube-dlg via pip.

Describe alternatives you've considered

N/A

Additional context

I tried doing this myself but ran into a memory error (hence issue #667), so if there is an alternative that would be awesome.

Update!

Youtube-dlg can be installed, but on Ubuntu only. I'll be posting how I did it so someone can package youtube-dlg as a vnc app (I dont know how to do that)

youtube-dl works just fine from ubuntu on my note8....

Maybe you could both post how you are installing and running youtube-dlg

[udgtehsy]

This works on Ubuntu. Heres how I installed youtube-dlg: sudo apt install software-properties-common && sudo apt-add-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 && sudo apt update && sudo apt install youtube-dlg Then to run it (from the user home directory and in a vnc session): cd ../../usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/youtube_dl_gui && python __main__.py

@lewisdonofrio does this match how you are running youtube-dlg

@slycooper724 what error do you get when you try to do that?

[lewisdonofrio]

I do not use -dlg just enjoying youtube-dl command line goodness.....on my note8
