How to get python to download YouTube videos in the background?
#6
I use youtube-dl also. The problem is they do not support all sites. youtube-dl doesnt even support sites like.... speedvid.net, vidlox.tv, vidoza.net, clipwatching.com, vidtodo.com, etc. And some of the sits they do say they support, often have trouble working. The other problem with youtube is if they think you are pirating they wont answer your issue and just not give you helpful info. They wont help if they know the site is pirating, but they have how many sites listed as supported? The only alternative is to build your own. I have thought about this, but not had the desire to devote the time to do it.

Plus if the concept is to create your own method of downloading, using youtube-dl is not a fix. It does not teach you how to download from different sites via programming.

Quote:But is there a way of doing it without any visible actions (opening the browser).
Yes there is a way to hide the browser. You can use it in headless mode by giving it the argument --headless
Quote:
options.add_argument("--headless")
