  • I had to go hunting for channel IDs when I ditched the yt frontend for RSS. There is still proper working RSS for each channel, even though for some reason they removed the actual RSS button probably a decade ago.

    So I had to go to the channel page, inspect element, search for “rss”, and somewhere in the page source there would be the link (or I might have to refresh sometimes because it’s missing for whatever reason). One only needs the ID, as the rest of the link is the same, of course.

    As we both found out, it’s not as trivial as it once may have been, before @s.












  • I guess if you get the length with yt-dlp, and then compare with the downloaded file, and the length is within a one second tolerance, it should be fine. At least I would think the length that yt-dlp extracts would not include the baked in ad, but of course youtube could make it so.

    Btw I haven’t heard about this thing since it first came out. Is it really happening?

    The GPL states that its text must not be modified. I take this to mean (though I’m no lawboy), that if you wanted to have a license with the same terms plus some changes (the butthole rule), you would have to rewrite the whole thing. It would not nearly be a “GPL license”.

    This is very important nitpicking I’m doing here, okay?
