there's freetube for desktop, i hate how it's an electron 'app' though

I think there's technical reasons for that. It looks like (and I may be wrong) they grab the YouTube website and show you a modified version of that, instead of requesting just the video from the server. This may be useful because YouTube changes how its API works sometimes to throw off 3rd party clients.

PipePipe still works without being an electron app but redundancy is good

[–] hexagonwin 1 points 3 weeks ago

nope they're completely creating a new page, not a modification of the youtube website.

Ah, yes, I have it (on macOS, I use it for downloading when YouTube blocks jd2 from downloading, I can get the video in any res with no audio, and the video in like 160p with good audio. Throw both into mkvtoolnix, ditch the low-res video stream, and it's all good. A bit of extra work, but if I want the video I can get it). I know it's similar.

i think you can just use yt-dlp -x {youtube link} to get audio btw.
