Aye yeah that’s fair, in that case i’d recommend PeaZip, it’s what I use on my CachyOS setup since 7zip is just cli on Unix. PeaZip has a nice file manager UI.

In terms of yt-dlp it really depends how you installed it…

Assuming you’re in the folder where yt-dlp is:

1. Make it executable

chmod +x yt-dlp

2. Run it directly from the current folder

./yt-dlp --version

If that works, then the binary is fine and it’s just a PATH thing.

I’d recommend just installing it through Homebrew personally, it will sort out the PATH for you automatically.

install Homebrew if you don’t have it (from brew.sh)

then:

brew install yt-dlp

yt-dlp --version

Otherwise if you want to make the binary work (if you already have the file or want to download it manually)

Open the folder in terminal and then

move it somewhere on PATH

sudo mv yt-dlp /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

make sure it’s executable

sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

Now whichever way you choose, you should be able to just do:

yt-dlp https://example.com/video --write-auto-subs

Along with whatever other commands you want to use!

If you want no friction you could just ||pirate ms office 2021 ltsc|| or similar?

Use the transcript and skip/read through

It’s on every youtube video at the bottom of the description!

Yt-dlp all those work, though you may need log in (cookie) for ‘adult’ content

But i dl with subtitles every time ‘–write-auto-subs’ or ‘–write-subs en’ or ‘all’, also got ‘–convert-subs srt’ yt-dlp the goat
