What is your preferred way of downloading youtube videos? (self.piracy)

I'm looking to download a number of educational youtube videos for future reference. Looking for a reliable way to download videos. OS is Ubuntu. FF extensions and docker containers all good. I don't really want to install an executable on bare metal unless it is a flatpak.

My goal is for the downloaded videos to be accessed locally via jellyfin. Jellyfin is already sorted.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

I always use yt-dlp do download youtube videos. It doesn't require installation, you just download and run it.

I was just looking at this. Do you typically run it behind a VPN or do you expose your actual IP?

I've never used a VPN with it.

okay. Thanks. Gonna give it a go. It seems to be the one everyone is using.

If you want a gui for android take a look at Seal, for Linux Parabolic.

Yeah, I used to use yt-dl(whatever) but Seal is just so much more convenient
