quyu's yt-dlp script pack

The repository is under rework, so if there's something missing, sorry!

These are yt-dlp scripts that should be easy to understand and user-friendly.

List of scripts:

  • Channel - main script for downloading stuff (YouTube and every other supported yt-dlp site)
  • Channel - Archive - scripts for downloading stuff from archive.org (archived YouTube pages)
  • Channel - Default Template - script for downloading stuff with yt-dlp's default template (ex. Video Name [Video ID].mp4)
  • Livestream - scripts for downloading livestreams in real-time (mainly youtube livestreams)
  • PlaylistMP3 - scripts for downloading music playlists
  • Twitch Clips - scripts for downloading Twitch clips

Make sure to keep yt-dlp up-to-date!
