Download YouTube videos with full control over quality and format settings.
The simplest way to download a video: python scripts/download_video.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID" This downloads the video in best available quality as MP4 to /mnt/user-data/outputs/.
Use -q or --quality to specify video quality: best (default): Highest quality available 1080p: Full HD 720p: HD 480p: Standard definition 360p: Lower quality worst: Lowest quality available Example: python scripts/download_video.py "URL" -q 720p
Use -f or --format to specify output format (video downloads only): mp4 (default): Most compatible webm: Modern format mkv: Matroska container Example: python scripts/download_video.py "URL" -f webm
Use -a or --audio-only to download only audio as MP3: python scripts/download_video.py "URL" -a
Use -o or --output to specify a different output directory: python scripts/download_video.py "URL" -o /path/to/directory
Download video in 1080p as MP4: python scripts/download_video.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" -q 1080p Download audio only as MP3: python scripts/download_video.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" -a Download in 720p as WebM to custom directory: python scripts/download_video.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" -q 720p -f webm -o /custom/path
The skill uses yt-dlp, a robust YouTube downloader that: Automatically installs itself if not present Fetches video information before downloading Selects the best available streams matching your criteria Merges video and audio streams when needed Supports a wide range of YouTube video formats
Downloads are saved to /mnt/user-data/outputs/ by default Video filename is automatically generated from the video title The script handles installation of yt-dlp automatically Only single videos are downloaded (playlists are skipped by default) Higher quality videos may take longer to download and use more disk space
