Comment on Tell HN: Chrome says "suspicious download" when trying to download yt-dlp

Comments

Which is why I download it from my Linux distribution's package manager. It's available on Termux too.

Which in the case of yt-dlp might not be fast enough.

I use a telegram/mqtt/homeassistant wrapper (1) to let my mother download audiobooks which are saved in jellyfin so she can listen or download them from my (home)server.

Keeping yt-dlp up2date (and therefore) working is not that easy, especially since I dont systemupdate every other week. There were a few phases yt-dlp version in nixpkgs-unstable were just not working. I created a little wrapper that updates a venv so I always have the HEAD running for my bot.
