Its an open source tool to download youtube videos
About every mainstream youtube download program you or your parents have ever used are actually just a wrapper for this.
Bonus: If you want to learn more about coding its not that hard to make a script that automatically downloads the last video from a list of channels that runs on a schedule. Even ai can do it.
I see. I am not a programmer, not by a long shot. More on the grandma side of things instead. So please forgive if I’m saying something very stupid - I’m just ignorant.
I’ve been happy with NewPipe so far, 95% of my video watching happens on my phone. The only thing Newpipe can’t do is access age restricted videos. If this tool can do that on my phone, then I’m definitely interested.
Yt-dlp?

Is there like a “tutorial for dummies” for this? I tried to use it once but got nowhere.
I’ve been using Open Video Downloader (youtube-dl-gui) for some years, and it’s very user-friendly.

Yes and no,
Yes because i am doing it, no because it’s just one part of the process.
Newpipe is cool but it doesn’t run on my phone so i needed something else.
You may have heard of plex, “run your own netflix”, i much prefer its competitor jellyfin but that doesn’t matter here.
Point is i download my YouTube videos on a schedule/script straight to the library folder of jellyfin, from which i can login from any type of device.
