Download videos
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.
Youtube-dl
- https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html
- It is based on Python2. Ubuntu 20.04 does not include python2.
- 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
mp3
- To download mp3 from a Youtube Video (assume libav-tools or ffmpeg has been installed). See more info here.
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)

--previews= <left/right> the side of the screen to show thumbnails
--upload-time= <time-range> Time range can be one of, last-hour, today, this-week, this-month, this-year
You can also put the filter as it's own option eg: --today

You can also put the filter as it's own option eg: --upload-date
--filter-id= <filter> The id of the filter to use for video reults
A filter id can be found by going to youtube searching, filtering how you want
Then taking the value of the &sp= part of the url
Filters may not work especially when the filter sorts for non-videos
In addition this overrides any filter provided through options
Example: ytfzf --filter-id=EgJAAQ minecraft
This will filter by livestream
--update clones the latest commit and installs it
on Arch ytfzf is available in the AUR
Use - instead of <search-query> for stdin
Option usage:
ytfzf -fDH to show history using external
menu and show formats
ytfzf -fD --choose-from-history same as above
Defaults can be modified through ENV variables
Defaults:
YTFZF_HIST=1 0 : off history
YTFZF_CACHE=~/.cache/ytfzf
YTFZF_LOOP=0 1 : loop the selection prompt
YTFZF_PREF='' 22: 720p, 18: 360p
YTFZF_CUR=1 For status bar bodules

To use rofi
YTFZF_EXTMENU=' rofi -dmenu -fuzzy -width 1500'
YTFZF_ENABLE_FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS=0 1 : fzf will use FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS
For more details refer https://github.com/pystardust/ytfzf
