thingsiplay,

Hi, a little bit late to reply, but I just saw your comment. Agreed with you, if this is all you need, its better to have simple alias than using a foreign script from someone else. I had something like this too, but it was not enough for me. In example when I want to download entire playlist (which would create dedicated subfolder as well), or want to extract the audio for music only. And I also want to download or embed meta informations and other files.

Once you see whats possible, you won’t go back (at least for me). yt-dlp is very complex by its nature and my script is a hope to make a few steps easier, and to bring attention to really cool features such as sponsorblock. Also I just recently found out it can repack the output format to “mp4” in example, which I added it as an option -f .

Sorry for the lengthy reply to a comment that was not targeted to me, but I felt like telling you this. Have a good day!
