On Windows 11, is it superior to use the command line interface (e.g., terminal) for interacting with yt-dlp? Or is a GUI like stacher.io sufficient for 99% of needs?
I’m also curious if it is better to use an Ubuntu WSL for yt-dlp CLI for a more streamlined terminal
Even then, it’s probably worth learning the CLI commands and setting up a config file with any desired settings. Once that’s setup, you’re back to
yt-dlp urlagain.do you use a WSL or powershell? windows terminal is inferior to linux terminal imo
Note that there is an application called Windows Terminal and that’s a terminal, not a shell. You can run any shell in it (including alternative or WSL shells).
I primarily use native Nushell via Windows Terminal.
You’re not stuck with PowerShell or batch on Windows.
Until you pointed this out I never realized that windows terminal and command prompt are entirely different applications lol
I use PowerShell for damn near everything. But I’m pretty sure when you’re just typing yt-dlp, space, then pasting the url, then any terminal is as good as any other.
good point, i did not know that you could change the configuration file instead of adding all the -cookies and -mp3 tags to the yt-dlp url … command
