What does --yt-dlp-location command do?

Hello,

I am curious to know what the --yt-dlp-location command does.
Is it a way to download Youtube videos?

Thank you and have a Fantastic Day! 🙂

The --yt-dlp-location command allows you to specify the location of the yt-dlp executable on your system.

yt-dlp is a command-line program that can download videos from various websites, including YouTube. Auto-Editor already looks for yt-dlp if it's on the PATH, but the option allows you to make auto-editor look somewhere else.

For example, if you have yt-dlp installed on your system in the directory /usr/local/bin, you would use the following command in auto-editor:

auto-editor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdOt_uXuS2Q --yt-dlp-location /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

---

You can install yt-dlp with:

pip install yt-dlp

and with this installation method, you won't need to specify the --yt-dlp-location, auto-editor will automatically find it.
