3D Youtube Downloader

I see. Thanks for the input. I knew forum search required a minimum of 3 characters in a word for the query to go through, but was not expecting that limitation to silently void a multi word search in the database.

I know this is an old topic, but I modified the DB config to reduce the minimum search token length to 2 characters (and remove stop word check), so this search will return the expected result now.

And thank you for that, let's see how good it works.

Since 3D Youtube Downloader dose not work anymore is there any alternative with same feature of low/high quality audio video download option?

[juverax]

The alternative I use (it is a CLI): yt-dlp
It works really well.
https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp/releases
yt-dlp may have several forks on the web ...

=====Help=============================================
yt-dlp --help

====List of available Formats for a given video==============
yt-dlp -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfANZyY2fDU

====== Get Best Video ==================================
yt-dlp -f bestvideo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfANZyY2fDU

====== Get Best Audio ==================================
yt-dlp -f bestaudio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfANZyY2fDU

==== Best Video + Best Audio format=======================
yt-dlp -f bv+ba https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfANZyY2fDU


NOTE : yt-dlp uses FFMPEG

Content of the folder where you want to use yt-dlp
ffplay.exe
ffprobe.exe
ffmpeg.exe
msvcr100.dll
yt-dlp.exe
yt-splitter.exe (optional, only if you want to use yt-splitter. look on the web for the most recent update)

As reported by loin2kolpotoru, 3D Youtube Downloader is facing some problems ATM...

FYI, the developer complained about Google's "Safe Browsing" in the program's changelog -- and perhaps just gave up -- at https://yd.3dyd.com/changelog/latest/.

As this app has been repeatedly nuked, it may be the latest case of heavy handed countermeasures targeting a program that infringes on Google's terms and interests -- further reporting welcome.

[juverax]

One of the benefits of using a CLI application (such as yt-dlp) is that you avoid the problems caused by browsers.

[Midas]

True, although 3D Youtube Downloader is not browser dependent.

Incidentally, I was once a regular user of 3D Youtube Downloader until its constant nuking resulting from YT updates forced me to learn and start using yt-download (at first, then moving to yt-dlp when the former was abandoned)...

NOTE : yt-dlp uses FFMPEG

BTW, you can point to FFmpeg's executable somewhere else via 'yt-dlp.conf', where "[PATH]" can be an absolute or relative file or folder path:

Code: Select all

--ffmpeg-location [PATH]

@ Midas: You are right on both counts. Thanks !

" BTW, you can point to FFmpeg's executable somewhere else via 'yt-dlp.conf', where "[PATH]" can be an absolute or relative file or folder path:

--ffmpeg-location [PATH] "

That is a very good point that saves space on the hard drive.

Minor correction: This isn't the source code of 3D Youtube Downloader (which isn't open source) but "a set of plugins for watching videos from media sites directly in the video player.
