Show HN: Command line YouTube downloader,a universal media solution for everyone

m2m, a purely command line bash application which allows you to download any video or playlist off of youtube dailymotion and pretty much anything yt-dlp supports

It's also possible create an HTTP service that acts as a wrapper to yt-dlp with just a few lines of shell, I created this example in the following link:

I saw this depends on yt-dlp but also recall hearing that yt-dlp no longer works due to Google taking actions. Has that changed? Also will this work with private playlists?

yt-dlp works just fine, no breakage for as long as i created m2m and now am maintaining it, and as for the thing about private playlists, IT WORKS ON THEM as long as you have the link for them and thus have them as "unlisted" meaning anyone with a link can view so you can download all of the videos of a playlist with its link

Tried yt-dlp right now, seems to work fine

		"right now" yt-dlp frequently breaks, and is impressively usually fixed pretty quick, because Google is actively shutting of ways to access their content without telemetry, tracking or ads. It's a cat and mouse game and if you're willing to play it, then good luck to you.

wav format is a bad default.
