What is your GUI of choice for yt-dlp ? - eviltoast

I was planning on using either the one by kannagi0303 from github or stacher.

update: I have setup the one from github, seems to do the job. Still can’t figure out downloading subtitles using gui and using the yt-dlp terminal version for that. Link for what I am using: https://github.com/kannagi0303/yt-dlp-gui

    I just use command line honestly.

    I wasn’t aware it had subtitle support though. What’s the command for downloading those?

      Download Subtitles: yt-dlp --write-sub --sub-lang (language code) (video URL) Doesn’t work for videos with auto generated subs.

        Automatic subtitles are also possible to grab by using --write-auto-sub, example:
        yt-dlp --write-auto-sub [video url]

        This next example will attempt to download English subtitles and if that fails, downloads the automatic subtitles instead:
        yt-dlp --sub-lang en --write-sub --write-auto-sub [video url]

        Note - you can not download automatic subtitles at the same time as language subtitles, which means if you wanted English and automatic I’d recommend the --skip-download flag for the second command, which will prevent downloading the entire video again:
        yt-dlp --sub-lang en --write-sub [video url]
        yt-dlp --write-auto-sub --skip-download [video url]
