@hazelnot yt-dlp?

@joepie91 huh, that one stopped working for me a while ago, guess it got fixed?

@hazelnot I used it like two months ago and back then it seemed to work

@joepie91 Hmm, any recommendation for a GUI for it?

I can't remember all the command line arguments for this kind of stuff and I don't like just having a window with documentation open at all times to check every time I wanna use it lol

@hazelnot Just running `yt-dlp` without any further arguments should be enough

@joepie91 Huh, I thought I'd have to give it arguments for quality and download type and stuff, that was required last time I used a CLI-based YouTube downloader

@hazelnot You *can* do so, but yt-dlp will pick reasonable defaults if you don't

@joepie91 Huh fair. Sorry I just have a lot of trouble focusing at all on documentation for CLI tools, I just get to a huge wall of arguments and my eyes glaze over and can't help but see it as an impassable monolith

@hazelnot That sounds like a shell-specific issue? Possibly a special character in the URL that triggers some shell feature, that you need to escape? I know very little about zsh

@joepie91 Yeah turns out the "?" was confusing it, I just had to put the whole thing in quotes
