This is the latest release of my Easy Usage Script for YT-DLP!

Setup instructions can be found here, and usage instructions can be found here.

Important Note: This is likely the last version of my usage script, as I have moved from Windows to Linux. This means that there could be a version for Linux coming some time (no promises) in a different repo. In case there is an issue with this release, I'll fix it as a "v2.10.x Hotfix", but there likely won't be a v2.11.

Changes from previous version

run.bat

Changes from previous version

run.bat

  • URLs that contain special characters such as & now don't get skipped in log.txt, a side effect of this is that they are now enclosed with quotes in the log
  • The manual resolution chooser now works properly, you will still most likely get an error when using it though
  • Improved the comments (not noticeable by the end user)
  • Changed the version number to 2.9 from 2.7 (forgot to do so last update)
