And while we are at shell tricks, I was happy to find out how to download only part of a youtube video:

yt-dlp <video url> --download-sections '*01:14:30-01:16:30'

⚠️ Notice the "*" prefixing the time codes.

Very useful to extract just a part of those very long #wmhack live videos.

Il n'est plus possible de télécharger depuis le site de France 2 avec #ytdlp #yt-dlp ?
Ça me dit `Unable to extract video ID`

Samozřejmě záleží na požadované kvalitě, ale youtube poslední dobou přidává docela dobré nahrávky, ke kterým asi "koupil" práva.
Než se nechat trackovat, kdy si co pouštím, radši si to pirátím přes #ytdlp do vlastní knihovny (kterou pak streamuju přes #subsonicapi ze svého #NextCloud). Přidat do skriptu řádek, co z toho udělá FLAC, by byla maličkost.
Ale chápu, že etika takového počínání záleží na vkusu každého soudruha.

I've seen a few recommendations now for #Omniget downloader, e.g.

https://www.linuxlinks.com/omniget-download-media-other-files/

But all I ever get when I try to download something from #Youtube or #OKru is "Connecting to server..."

(And yes, I let it install the necessary extras: yt-dlp, ffmpeg IIRC)

Does anyone else have more luck with it?

FYI, same YT link that didn't work in Omniget downloading fine in #YTSage

#YTDLP

#YouTube has added 3x playback but locked it behind YouTube Premium 🤨 #ytdlp

Small hack I’m using today:

Clipped the first 5 minutes of a YT video and converted it to MP3 using a simple `yt-dlp` batch script — a solid CLI tool for pulling and transforming online media.

Now streaming it via VLC to my Home speaker — a clean way to turn any video into a focused audio snippet.

YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqrcxUqASQg

The audio being extracted is the Hanuman Chalisa — a short devotional recitation often used for focus, calm, and mental clarity.

Batch script (edit URL and timestamps, then run):

```bat
@echo off
set URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqrcxUqASQg
set START=00:00 :: clip start time (mm:ss)
set END=05:18 :: clip end time (mm:ss)

yt-dlp.exe ^
--download-sections "*%START%-%END%" ^ :: only download this segment
--force-keyframes-at-cuts ^ :: improves cut accuracy
-x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 ^:: extract best-quality MP3
-o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" ^ :: output filename
%URL%

pause
```

If you want to experiment:

* change timestamps to grab different sections
* try other formats (`wav`, `m4a`)
* feed playlists instead of single videos
* pipe output into VLC or automate casting

Another rabbit-hole to dive into, if inclined 🫣
