If you've not installed youtube-dl on your GNU/Linux machine yet, DO IT.
It's one of the most powerful packages on my PC, shit is god-tier.

@Ocean22 how else do you think i get my pron

@Ocean22 It's so useful, I made it an option for Downloadbot. I have a copy running on my mediabox at home, and by texting a URL it downloads it to the storage array locally for later.

@Ocean22 Yep. I was trying to download songs with Headphones without much success and one of my coworkers told me about how he just uses youtube-dl to get music. That was life-changing.

There's also NewPipe on Android, but it doesn't handle stitching audio and video back together for the resolutions for which they're separated, which I believe youtube-dl does.

@Ocean22 I love it, but Tumblr has some new way of embedding video that it fails to parse.

@Tanuki They'll probably update it soon OWO

@Ocean22 yea if I knew more about the uh, DOM or whatever maybe I could contribute. Right now I use webkit inspector and just pick out the elements.

The only packages you ever need

@ajeremias I have that package too, but it seems to give me python errors or some shit every time I try to search or play a video

@Ocean22 ooh.. im using linux manjaro (arch based) probably you have some python2/python3 crazy stuff.. i had the same issues with docker on debian.. :(

@ajeremias You kids and your rolling release

@Ocean22 rolling release for the winners :D and yaourt is amazing... builds community packages from git, or whatever :')

@Ocean22 maybe u can try: `pip3 install mps-youtube --upgrade`

@Ocean22

Is there a way to download a full channel?

@Ocean22
I looked at the doc and couldn't find one?

@LienRag I mean, there is playlist download, you could make a playlist of every video on the channel lel

@LienRag It more than likely has channel downloads too, I mean, youtube-dl does EVERYTHING the --help is huge lel
