      It’s a pretty great tool. Downloaded the entirety of Murder Drones on Saturday to add to my Plex server. Strictly for preservation, going to re-watch on YouTube to support them

      You can also setup a script to automatically download a channels latest vid so you don’t need to check the website anymore.

        fun fact: according to sponsorblock, youtube is testing ads that are baked serverside into the video. so one day even downloading might not be ad free

          They will never be able to block me just using the mouse to skip forward. If its already downloaded theres zero buffer lag.

          I will create another step that converts the format to an open one if they somehow block that too.

          Its an accessibility thing for me. Ads literally cause me harm. They cannot possibly win me over i’ll just end up doing something productive instead.

          For now you can use vpns to certain countries that don’t have ads at all, I expect that will still work to avoid server side ads.

      Beat me to it (by several hours).

      I’m not watching on YouTube. If I want to watch, I’ll download it first. yt-dlp on the desktop, seal (yt-dlp underneath) on android.

      Edit: Big finger problems

        Wow, Seal is very much improved since I last looked at it. It has a million options, and custom commands and everything.
