Project description

a plugin manager for yt-dlp

about ytdlp-plugins

ytdlp-plugins extends the possibilities of yt-dlp by allowing to install new extractors from python packages that are not part of yt-dlp.

The following plugin packages are currently available:

installation

You can install ytdlp-lugins via pip:

  • Use PyPI package:

    python3 -m pip install --upgrade ytdlp-plugins

  • Install from Github branch:

    python3 -m pip3 install -U https://github.com/flashdagger/ytdlp-plugins/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Note that on some systems, you may need to use py or python instead of python3

running example

ytdlp-plugins enables all plugins and forwards all parameters to yt-dlp.

You will get a detailed overview by running in verbose mode:

ytdlp-plugins -v

running tests

You can run the extractor unittests on all installed plugins:

python3 -m unittest ytdlp_plugins.test_download

or with pytest

pytest --pyargs ytdlp_plugins.test_download

about yt-dlp

yt-dlp is a youtube-dl fork based on the now inactive youtube-dlc. The main focus of this project is adding new features and patches while also keeping up to date with the original project

Note that all plugins are imported even if not invoked, and that there are no checks performed on plugin code. Use plugins at your own risk and only if you trust the code
