Hi
After many months of frustration with speed and other problems using youtube-dl, I decided to look around for an alternative.My Tumbleweed install had yt-dlp available, I looked at Debian and it's available in the repositories also. A fork of youtube-dl, yt-dlp is blazing fast and doesn't fail as often as the original.
Figured I'd share, I don't usually come upon something new and very useful these days.

Nach vielen Monaten der Frustration mit Geschwindigkeits- und anderen Problemen bei der Verwendung von youtube-dl beschloss ich, mich nach einer Alternative umzusehen. yt-dlp war in meiner Tumbleweed-Installation verfügbar, ich schaute mir Debian an und es ist auch in den Repositories verfügbar. yt-dlp ist eine Abspaltung von youtube-dl, es ist rasend schnell und fällt nicht so oft aus wie das original.
I've been using yt-dlp a fair bit recently with no issues. If you look at the man pages it's incredible with the list of options what it can do. A lot more than I will ever need or use.
And you can use media-downloader as Qt frontend for yt-dlp.

Thanks for the feedback.
I'll have to look into the media-downloader when I get the chance, though I may not want to add overhead, the speed is blazing right now.
I'm also gonna have to look into the man pages, see what this app will do. :-)

Hello,
another littel tool in the debian repositories:
youtube downloader
apt install youtubedl-gui
I looked for the media-downloader mentioned by edlin but didn't find it. Is it in a different repo from the standard siduction repos?
youtubedl-gui seems to be working well.
Sorry, its from deb-multimedia.org:
apt policy media-downloader
media-downloader:
Installiert: 3.1.0-dmo1
Installationskandidat: 3.1.0-dmo1
Versionstabelle:
*** 3.1.0-dmo1 500

Thank you!
If someone is interested in a self-hosted and automated solution for downloading and handling large numbers of YouTubes, have a look at Tube Archivist (https://www.tubearchivist.com/).
Looks interesting. Great for clubs and organizations. Overkill for my purposes.
