Video Downloader

Download videos from YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, Instagram, Bilibili and more using yt-dlp CLI

Installation

To use this extension, you must have yt-dlp and ffmpeg installed on your machine.

The easiest way to install this is using Homebrew. After you have Homebrew installed, run the following command in your terminal:

brew install yt-dlp ffmpeg

Depending on your macOS version, the package might be located in a different path than the one set by the extension. To check where ffmpeg was installed, run:

which ffmpeg

Then, update the path in the extension preferences to match the output of the above command.

You'll also need ffprobe, which is usually installed with ffmpeg. Just run which ffprobe and update the path accordingly.
