NPOV issue
[edit]Product being compared must be sorted alphabetically. B7elijah (talk) 23:29, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
Is this correct?
[edit]What does the "Usability" column mean? There is "Yes" value set for all products in that table. But what would "No" value mean? The program is unusable?.. B7elijah (talk) 23:38, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
Yes

Free YouTube Downloader
[edit]Does anyone agree that "Free YouTube Downloader" should be added to the list of YouTube downloaders?
I've installed and tested this system. It seems to work well and is very easy to use.

- I'm pretty sure MBAM classifies that one as a PUP.
- However, there are a whole bunch of down-loaders with similar sounding names that curiously do not appear in this article. Many of these :are also classified by MBAM as PUPs. "YouTube Video Downloader" - download.cnet.com/YouTube-Video-Downloader/3000-2071_4-10810714.html? & :"YouTube Downloader" - http://download.cnet.com/YouTube-Downloader/3000-2071_4-75706858.html?tag=dre, seem clean, and should be added to :this article. (Note: there are many of these with very similar names, like "YouTube Free Downloader", that do contain malware.)

Youtube-dl missing
[edit]I noticed youtube-dl, a really awesome command-line downloader is missing. It's available at http://yt-dl.org with source at https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl and runs on most operating systems. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.10.4.30 (talk) 13:53, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
The Graphical interface Youtube-dlG is also missing (with easy playlist download possibility) : https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.128.215.221 (talk) 11:23, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
clipping column
[edit]I would like to know which programs allow designating a start / end time and only downloading a video clip of just that.
Like say for example there is a 2 hour youtube movie but you only want to download 10 seconds of it, downloading the ENTIRE thing and then needing to edit it yourself is pretty inefficient. ScratchMarshall (talk) 06:03, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

4KDownloader is now crippleware

Private videos column
[edit]What is the purpose of the private videos column in the features section? At first I'd assume that it denotes the ability of a downloader to download private videos using some way to authenticate, but that would mean that youtube-dl would be marked as 'yes', as it can be fed credentials/cookies for authentication (for example through the --cookies parameter). Is that a mistake, or am I misunderstanding the purpose of the column? A clearer tooltip description should probably be implemented if the latter is the case.

Invidious works on Android
[edit]Just tested with the Vivaldi browser on my Android phone and it always works quite perfectly. (Autoplay was a bit bugged on my older phone, but it might be fixed now.) https://files.catbox.moe/jq4r2a.jpg 05:27, 29 September 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ijklk128 (talk • contribs)

FYI - Request to Google to Delist this Page
[edit]Evidently Because Music has sent a request to Google to delist this page due to the anti-circumvention portion of the DMCA. Discussed here. MollyRealized (talk) 19:43, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Add yt-dlp
[edit]Yt-dl has limited download speeds and development decreased heavily compared to 2021. Yt-dlp seems to be the successor with 50k GitHub stars https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp I can't as editing is locked it's foss 77.174.60.168 (talk) 20:48, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Add Fildo (File Downloader)
[edit]Hi,
Could you include https://fildo.net ? it was an open source project on github that ended up being withdrawn, but the android application is still working, it allows to get music from different third party search engines that are public on the internet.
As far as I know it is totally legal 188.127.189.231 (talk) 16:51, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Suggested feature addition: Download segment by timestamp
[edit]It's useful to be able to download a select portion of a video by timestamp versus downloading the entire thing. 2600:8801:8808:1100:89B3:C475:4294:499E (talk) 11:32, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Suggest to add video downloading websites
[edit]Many useful websites offer video downloading with a wide variety of features, without having to install a program on a local machine. I propose adding a section or expanding a section to include such websites with columns for various features, such as audio-only download, download segment by timestamp, etc 2600:8801:8808:1100:89B3:C475:4294:499E (talk) 12:14, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
