Package request: ytdl-org/youtube-dl

[Cedric Blancher]

Good morning!

I'd like to request https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl as a Cygwin
package, so we can mirror training videos locally.

Also, it is a cool demo to show the power of Cygwin, to show that it
can download youtube videos without paying for "Youtube Premium" =:-)

I think yt-dlp might be better.  I had to switch to it a while ago when 
youtube-dl took too long to fix an issue with downloading from Youtube.

You also don't need to package it, you should be able to install it with 
pip.

python3 -m ensurepip
pip3 install yt-dlp

Cygwin ensurepip fails as it is bundled in python39 but install yt_dlp works. 
Got a command line test script?

$ python3 -m ensurepip

Assuming ffmpeg and lame are installed for Cygwin, then I use this to DL songs from youtube:

yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 --ffmpeg-location /usr/bin  $*


Where $* is the youtube link.

Can confirm that it does work.
