Hi,

It's just:

  $ yt-dlp https://URL

where URL is copied from the address bar of your browser, or a hyperlink, or...

Are you having trouble with that?  If so, please share details.

yt-dlp will extract the video from the Web page, you do not have to extract the video URL yourself.

Some ('obscure') Web sites aren't supported, but the most common are.  All are moving targets so keep yt-dlp up to date.

The version of yt-dlp in Guix is generally recent but might suffer from not having the latest Python version.

One tip: install ffmpeg too.  It's optional, as it should be, but without it each YouTube video I've downloaded was reported as 'malformed'.

Kind regards,

Yes... that's... that is how it's documented to work.

I'm happy for your success, but please try to use packages in the documented way before engaging Guix® Support :-)



Happy downloadings,

Hi Guix,

Support :-)

  yes, you are right, sorry for my too quick question.

I acted according to my experience of trying yt-dlp earlier on, and it 
didn't work.(it was not in Guix SD, but in an other Distro)

and also in using other Guix commands and I lost a lot of time.
So I dicided to ask quickly.

I beg your pardon.


Kind regards

Gottfried

Excuse me, what does that "®" (REGISTERED TRADE MARK SIGN) means?  Who
trademarked Guix?  As far as I know, even GNU isn't a trademark...

Heyo,

Mostly that you took me too seriously.  Although registration *is* 
worth considering IMO.  I would like to discuss this in Brussels.

Microsoft.

Sure it is.  Why wouldn't it be?  It's even a registered one, at 
least in the US.  You can ask TESS.

I guess as you mean that GUIX Studio that comes as Duck search results.

Yep.  Their mark is simply GUIX, though.

(To forestall another common objection: trademark registrations are not case-sensitive, and conventionally rendered as uppercase.)
