Download videos
- 3 Easy Ways to Download YouTube Videos in Ubuntu and Other Linux Distributions
- Download YouTube Videos using Firefox Add-on ‘Video DownloadHelper’
- 3 Applications to download YouTube videos in Ubuntu and other Linux distributions: Clipgrab, 4K Video Downloader, youtube-dl
VLC
See VLC tips.
- Play the video in VLC
- On VLC, check Tools -> Codec information and find a URL there
- Open the URL on a browser. Right click the video and choose to save the video.
The method works for youtube and vimeo videos.
Firefox/Chrome add-on
3 Easy Ways to Download YouTube Videos in Ubuntu and Other Linux Distributions
Video DownloadHelper add-on works fine when I test it on Firefox and Chrome. I need to install an app Video DownloadHelper companion app (the source code is on Github) in order to use the extension. It saves the videos to ~/dwhelper folder.
Online websites
Open source app
- YouTube Downloader Plus https://ytdn.netlify.app/. Snap, flathub, AppImage, macOS, Windows,... ytDownloader lets you download Videos and Extract Audios of different formats from hundreds of sites including but not limited to Youtube, Facebook, Tiktok, Twitch, Twitter, Instagram and so on...
Host your own downloader
metube
- Host your own YouTube-Downloader with Docker
- Download YouTube videos, host locally?
- MeTube & github. The website instructs users to update yt-dlp regularly using tools such as watchtower.
docker run --rm -p 8081:8081 -v $(pwd):/downloads \ --name metube ghcr.io/alexta69/metube # http://localhost:8081/
- TubeArchivist,
- YoutubeDL-Material,
- TubeSync. It doesn't have a video player built in and doesn't support downloading individual videos. But works really well for playlist/channel downloading.
- Tartube. Looks interesting!
Media Downloader
Parabolic
- https://github.com/NickvisionApps/Parabolic Download web video and audio
- Parabolic: A Powerful Tool for Downloading Online Media on Linux
Tube Converter
Tube Converter: An Open Source Tool to Download YouTube Videos
Youtube-dl
- https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html
- It is based on Python2. Ubuntu 20.04 does not include python2.
- Supported sites
- yt-dlp A youtube-dl fork with additional features and fixes
- What are the Best Youtube Video Downloader for Ubuntu
- The Best YouTube Downloader on Linux: youtube-dl, Minutube, ClipGrab
- 4 Best open source & free YouTube Downloader for Ubuntu Linux
# which youtube-dl # sudo rm /usr/bin/youtube-dl # Method 1. sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl # Method 2. sudo pip install --upgrade youtube_dl # Log out and log in youtube-dl --version # 2019.01.02 # Download as an mp4 youtube-dl -f 'bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/mp4' URL # Download a youtube playlist youtube-dl -f mp4 --yes-playlist URL
- For videos with 1080p resolution, youtube-dl will download 720p by default. To download 1080p, see this post
# show the available resolutions youtube-dl -F XXX # download the desired resolution youtube-dl -f 137+141 XXXX # Note the two numbers 137, 141 is case dependent. They could be 137 & 140. youtube-dl -f 22 XXX # if the format 22 is mp4. If I do not specify the format, the mkv file will be downloaded # But playing mkv file tends to be stuttering with VLC.
This assumes Ubuntu has installed avconv; otherwise video(mp4) and audio(m4a) files will be downloaded separately.To install avconv, install the libav-tools package. Note that libav-tools was replaced by ffmpeg in Ubuntu 18.04.sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
- Play/Download youtube video using mps-youtube
mps-youtube
- 4k videos samples (vlc v2.1.4 cannot play), FLYING OVER NORWAY
- 8K videos Yellowstone National Park in 8K 60P, Peru
stuttering
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326#issuecomment-966416070
VERSION=8e069597c658810567ced5f8046dc5d14ab93037 wget https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/archive/$VERSION.zip unzip $VERSION.zip cd youtube-dl-$VERSION sudo pip install .
Minitube
- MiniTube
- It is preinstalled in Voyager Linux and in the dock.
mpsyt: mps-youtube (mp3 + stream + youtube)
By default, mps-youtube is basically a YouTube audio player (and downloader), but you can enable external video playback (via mpv or MPlayer) from its options. Check out
Installation on Linux (works on Odroid with low CPU usage for audio stream from youtube but Odroid gives dirty noise when I played the music).
sudo apt-get install python3-pip sudo pip3 install mps-youtube sudo pip3 install youtube_dl # On Ubuntu/Mint. Do not use mplayer. Use mpv instead. # sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/mpv-tests # sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mpv mpsyt # launch set player mpv pl https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6h94tLpXv3LabUa7B0tCz7K0pI5ZzZEi # a playlist h # help Space # pause p # play q # quit mpsyt h search url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgIfZz8STLk # retrieve specific youtube video by url or id
Some highlight
- Search
- Local playlist
- support YouTube Playlists
- Download
- Music Album Matching
If something is wrong with using 'set' command, just run rm -rf ~/.config/mps-youtube/ and restart everything.
By default, it only streams audio. To watch the video, use set show_video true.
Below is what I got from the set command (as you can see the default player is mpv)
Key Value order : relevance user_order : max_res : 2160p player : mpv playerargs : encoder : 0 [None] notifier : checkupdate : True show_mplayer_keys : True fullscreen : False show_status : True columns : ddir : /home/odroid/Downloads/mps overwrite : True show_video : False search_music : True window_pos : window_size : download_command : audio_format : auto api_key : AIzaSyCIM4EzNqi1in22f4Z3Ru3iYvLaY8tc3bo
The screenshot shows mpsyt contains basic playing keyboard shortcuts.
[Update 4-7-2017]: to fix an error Signature extraction failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
sudo apt-get remove -y youtube-dl # Removing youtube-dl (2014.02.17-1) ... sudo pip3 install -U youtube-dl $ youtube-dl --version 2017.04.11
yewtube: forked from mps-youtube
- https://github.com/mps-youtube/yewtube & Troubleshooting/FAQ. Install by pip or pipx.
- Tested on Nvidia Jetson nano with Ubuntu 20.04. It will call VLC media player for video playback (I have mplayer & VLC installed).

mp3 download
- How to Download Audio Only Using youtube-dl & Download entire YouTube playlist in MP3 format.
- To download mp3 from a Youtube Video (assume libav-tools or ffmpeg has been installed). See more info here.
youtube-dl -x --audio-format mp3 URL youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 URL
- To convert the video to mp3 format, use soundconverter
sudo apt-get install soundconverter
- How To Download A YouTube Playlist And Convert It To MP3 Using youtube-dl (Command Line)
mpv
- mpv depends on youtube-dl but we need to install youtube-dl manually.
- Youtube-dl depends on python. On Ubuntu it only has python3 but no python. A quick solution: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

yt-dlp: download youtube video
- By default, the video file has an extension webm. If we choose to download a video file as an mp4 format, the file size will be quite large (e.g. triple).
- yt-dlp: A youtube-dl fork with additional features and fixes. To install the binary
sudo curl -L https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -o /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
To download a video as mp3,
yt-dlp -f 'ba' -x --audio-format mp3 URL
To download a video as mp4 and embed subtitles to video file (if they exist),
yt-dlp -f 'bv[height=1080][ext=mp4]+ba[ext=m4a]' \ --embed-subs --merge-output-format mp4 URL

- Queue multiple tracks

- Playlist (not yet)
- YTFZF – Search and play YouTube videos in the Terminal. 'kitty' was used as the thumbnail viewer. But kitty was removed from builtin due to it not working with fzf v2.5.5.
