ytb-dl

I recommend ytp-dl instead, which is a wrapper that provides better download performance.

Note: You will need to install missing codecs or ffmpeg to perform certain operations, for example, Audio Only mode.

• Download with the highest quality possible for both video and audio

yt-dlp $uri -f bestvideo*+bestaudio/best

• Download with only audio (requires ffmpeg on PATH)

yt-dlp -x $uri
