How is this any different then opening a YouTube stream in vlc, looking at the Metadata and getting the file url and then saving that file?

HalloKitty posted:That's an overly complex way of using youtube-dl - I'm almost certain vlc just uses youtube-dl in the background It's super simple. I was looking for ways to save a YouTube vid without having to install anything and it turns out vlc could do it. Open the stream as a new stream then check the file info in vlc, copy paste the link into a browser and save as. I think most people who use vlc have no idea this is a thing, I definitely didn't

repiv posted:I just tried that with a 4K video and the URL it gave me is only 720p Yeah looks like they changed something since the last time I grabbed it through vlc. I guess it's good I know in advance but bummer. Wonder how long the 720p fallback will still work
