Video Downloader. https://github.com/Unrud/video-downloader
Strips all junk off any video url so you have the mp4 or mkv.
Use this to add youtube videos/playlists to jellyfin. Doesn't have to be youtube. Downloads any videos from a link.
Can also save audio only from video links if you want to.
how does it compare to yt-dlp?
it's a GUI for yt-dlp
It's great for porn!

,for a quick web based downloader I use https://cobalt.tools/
i've been using yt-dlp for youtube videos for ages (supports about a million others as well)
Supports metadata nicely which is beneficial, obviously.
Parabolic does the same thing better
