That can only be fixed after youtube-dl is dumped by yt-dlp (see a previous post). That version is ready but I can’t release it yet. I need more current users to be on the current one to avoid breaking their setup with the new version. Link to comment
vitor Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Update. Transitioned to yt-dlp. You’ll only see the update notification if you have it installed. To update, download the latest version (same URL) or wait a few days and it’ll prompt you to on next usage, since it uses OneUpdater. Link to comment
roccitman Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Loaded up yt-dlp via brew. Works great! Thanks man! vitor 1 Link to comment
Lucagfc Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I know that this can be a really stupid question but I've installed this amazing workflow (thanks for the good work) but when I open Alfred and type "da" or "dv" Alfred shows me app and files but not the workflow. What I'm missing?!? Thank you thanasut 1 Link to comment

vitor Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 @Lucagfc The top post links to this one. I need every information requested there to be able to help. The most probable cause is that you haven’t installed yt-dlp. Please refer to the top post as it explains everything. Link to comment

I confirm that the workflow was not visible because yt-dlp was not installed! Link to comment
vitor Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 @thanasut I need from you the exact same thing. No one can debug without information. Please make sure to read the instructions until the end, the clue is bound to be there. Instructions exist to be read, doing so saves time. Link to comment
enlighten Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Hi, may I ask a simple usage question: I just found and downloaded this workflow last night. I also installed yt-dlp. After installation, I can start download by typing "dv" in Alfred window and it seems a download will start. But the downloaded mp4 file get deleted right after download finished. This happened every time. So I chose a very long youtube video to test. After select the video with the dv command and my download folder window opened, I could see the download started. I could also watch the progress of the download with the "dp" command. When the download finished (that the download percentage shows 100%), the file name in the folder was updated to the final file name, from xxxx.mp4.part4 to xxxx.mp4, for example. But then the file got removed. I also tested download with "yt-dlp" from command line. It worked fine. It seems I may missed some configuration? I am on MACOS 11.6 on a Macbook Pro 2018. Thanks.

vitor Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Do you have WatchList installed? It’s probably doing the move to the directory you have set there. The instructions and top post explain that. Link to comment
enlighten Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 @vitorThat's it. I installed WatchList and the problem solved. Thank very much for sharing your code and help. Link to comment
ileonemil Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Hi, on macOS Monterey MPB M1 2020 I can't use the keywords DA/DV. I tried to reinstall the workflow but nothing...anyone can help me? Link to comment
vitor Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 @ileonemil Please follow these instructions, as the first pot asks. Link to comment

These are the following: Brew command not found (I'm on MacBook Pro M1) v21.13 Alfred 4.6.1 MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 Every link since the problem is the keyword [09:47:59.384] Logging Started...

You will need to install it yourself. Homebrew recommended. Alternatively, download an older version of this Workflow without the dependency: https://github.com/vitorgalvao/alfred-workflows/tree/c0d9c9313857676997e6e05d9dda65cfa5fcda6a/DownMedia Keep in mind that is no longer supported. It will continue to work until the (discontinued) youtube-dl no longer does. Link to comment
vitor Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 The debugger message you just posted explains the issue in plain English. The top post expands: On 4/17/2013 at 12:26 AM, vitor said: You will have to install yt-dlp yourself because it has dependencies which are impractical to fulfil on a clean macOS installation. The simplest way is to install Homebrew and brew install yt-dlp. Those instructions are also in the About section of the Workflow itself. It’s important to read those. Link to comment

nesdroc Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 This is a great package! Been using youtube-dl so far through Automator, but this takes it up several notches. Question: For audio I've decided to go with .m4a. In case this can't be had in original form, will the workflow pick the best available audio then or convert what it downloads to .m4a?

It will do whatever yt-dlp does, so check its documentation. I don’t use the audio functionality; I’ve added it by popular demand. nesdroc 1 Link to comment

Mike Outram Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Hi Vitor. A feature request/help: If I'm downloading the audio of two things where the filenames are the same, then the second thing won't download. Is there a way to get around that? Thanks! Link to comment
