Anyone aware of a simple youtube-dl webgui that doesn't have a ton of dependencies or a complicated setup? I'd love a simple app I could throw on a RPi that I could paste a URL into and it would be downloaded for me.

I could hack something up Python/Flask pretty quickly but I already have too many started-but-unfinished projects.

@bolapara "started-but-unfinished projects", the story of my life

@bolapara I use a script I wrote, because my .history was full of youtub-dl links 😵 It's personal use to a bit ugly, are you on linux?

@dv8 Yep, mostly on Linux or sometimes macOS. I'd check it out if you are willing to share.

@bolapara Cool, I'm off to bed ina minute. I'll see if I still have a pastbin or some such in the morning. I'm curious to see if it works on a mac, it worked on termux on android so it seems to be mostly posix compliant.

@dv8 I got to thinking about it and realized that I could just adapt my current local-download solution to just ssh into the remote machine and do the download there since I used ssh keys. I should really put a bit more thought into things before I post them. Anyway, if you or anyone else is interested below is that script.

@bolapara That works. Here is mine, but I download from a lot of places so it’s mainly to prepend names for organization and also put them in my vid directory. Need to change the DATADIR before pasting in any links though. pastebin.com/FhuCrZp9
