Which place is more active? https://gitlab.com/dstftw/youtube-dl/activity https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc/actions yt-dlc is a clone and that says it all.
Well, if you want to use yt-dlc, then use it, no one bothers you.
You can potentially use any youtube-dl fork so long as the usage methods are similar to youtube-dl (cmd options and output text). Both youtube-dl and yt-dlc will work. Just replace the youtube-dl.exe
packaged with ydl-ui with whatever fork/version you want.
The main reason I switched back was because yt-dlc doesn't allow for updates via -U flag and isn't the original.

Ok, thanks a lot!
Hello! You switched back to using youtube-dl. Is this the right solution? Before and after the RIIA attack, the fork showed more activity in development than the original. Now the fate of youtube-dl is not quite obvious (it seems that at the moment PR from the community is not accepted and the author did not speak about his plans). Maybe it's better to use yt-dlc after all?
