Downloading, 2022 Edition, MacOS


Recommended Posts

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.

Instructions for the *ahem* Terminally challenged?

 

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

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

Try running

sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp 

and then try again?
