KnottyBuoy 113 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Until recently I had mechanisms for downloading thisvid and pornhub videos, but the page that used to download thisvid got bought out by someone who is charging for the service, and I'm getting a 404 not found when I try to go to the page from which I used to download from pornhub. What do you folks use? Can't be Windows-specific or cellphone-based, need to be able to use it on a Macbook. Link to comment
Amomonya 145 Posted August 25, 2022 Soaked Member Share Posted August 25, 2022 yt-dlp is your answer. It's a terminal-based application, so I put it in /usr/local/bin - that way it's in my PATH, and I can call it from any directory I want to save to. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp Link to comment
KnottyBuoy 113 Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 Instructions for the *ahem* Terminally challenged? I can do command line app, but they aren't at all self-explanatory. Link to comment

I can do command line app, but they aren't at all self-explanatory. It's super easy to use, you just type in: yt-dlp [the video url] and it downloads to whatever folder your terminal is pointed at it's also really easy to install, just follow the instructions here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#installation Link to comment
KnottyBuoy 113 Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 I downloaded it following the instructions at the bottom link you cited above. In Terminal, I navigated to my Downloads folder then tried to use it. First it seemed to be generating a permissions error, so I tried sudo yt-dlp [the video URL] It doesn't seem to be working: AHunter3:~ ahunter3$ cd ~/Downloads/ AHunter3:Downloads ahunter3$ yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg_uBUnZbCA&list=PLZ_Y2tvOZza8Hhd1lbLCVAT0-FFBh6gT2&index=4 [1] 15017 [2] 15018 [2]+ Done list=PLZ_Y2tvOZza8Hhd1lbLCVAT0-FFBh6gT2 AHunter3:Downloads ahunter3$ -bash: /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp: Permission denied CA&list=PLZ_Y2tvOZza8Hhd1lbLCVAT0-FFBh6gT2&index=4nZb [2] 15020 [3] 15021 [1] Exit 126 yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg_uBUnZbCA [3]+ Done list=PLZ_Y2tvOZza8Hhd1lbLCVAT0-FFBh6gT2 AHunter3:Downloads ahunter3$ [2]+ Stopped sudo yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg_uBUnZbCA --- (There's no new video in my Downloads folder) Link to comment

Amomonya 145 Posted September 1, 2022 Soaked Member Share Posted September 1, 2022 Oh, you just need to install Python, a lot of programs use it Link to comment
KnottyBuoy 113 Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 I installed MacYTDL which provides a GUI front end and auto-downloads / auto-installs any additional libraries (it wanted FFMPEG at a newer version than the one I had). Link to comment
