ytb-dl-quick-download

start-dl is a Bash script used to quickly start downloading the audio from a youtube video. The script 100% relies on youtube-dl.

Programs / Libraries required

• youtube-dl
• ffmpeg
• ffprobe
• ffplay

Make sure all these programs are in the same directory

Customize the Script

You can use the script as is, or change / add whatever you need (i.e. change the destination of the downloaded files, their format : MP3, FLAC..., etc.).

Execute the Script

You can execute the script through a Unix shell (on windows you can use the Bash from the 'Git for windows' program).

The start-dl script only takes one argument, the link to the youtube video:

./start-dl.bash your_ytb_link
