[Feature Request] Aria2 support for yt-dlp to accelerate download speed #218

Closed samarthshrivas closed 1 year ago

samarthshrivas commented 1 year ago

aria2 can accelerate download speed, its multi threaded, it would be nice addition to give option to set no of threads preferences

Hello @samarthshrivas

Do you have any usage examples to use with the yt_dlp API? I've been doing a search but haven't found much...

Pull Requests are welcome.

Hello @jeanslack

I have a cli command that i use:

yt-dlp -q --external-downloader aria2c --external-downloader-args "-j 50 -s 3 -x 2" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVsbTCdTyAM

'c' in aria2c in not a mistake

Make sure you have aira2 installed: sudo apt install aria2

Docs for a aria2c: https://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html

I will try to do more research and contribute to this proj after 12 Apr. i have a exam on 11.

Thanks for your time. Some considerations: Videomass doesn't execute yt-dlp command line in sub-process to perform download operations, instead it uses yt_dlp API, ie Python module.

The following is the list of all options callable using the Python module: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/yt_dlp/YoutubeDL.py#L184

I will try to do more research and contribute to this proj after 12 Apr. i have a exam on 11.

It's OK no problem

I updated ydl_downloader.py and preferences.py. but i don't know to map these to each other maybe you can help me.
