• This repository assumes the use of Podman and Buildah. If you are using Docker, please read as appropriate.

• For command line documentation of yt-dlp, please refer to the official repository. -> options documentation

There are three types of container images depending on how they are built

• tnk4on/yt-dlp:latest,alpine-static -> static binaries are used for yt-dlp and FFmpeg
• tnk4on/yt-dlp:alpine-pip -> install yt-dlp and FFmpeg from package management tool (pip/apk)
• tnk4on/yt-dlp:ubi-minimal -> install yt-dlp and FFmpeg from package management tool (pip/dnf)

• Base Image:
  • python:alpine: tnk4on/yt-dlp:latest,alpine-static,alpine-pip
  • ubi8:ubi-minimal: tnk4on/yt-dlp:ubi-minimal
• FFmpeg already installed
  • FFmpeg Static Builds: release:6.0
• Run as a non-root user. User: yt-dlp Created.

$ podman run --rm tnk4on/yt-dlp [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]

Note: The entrypoint is set to yt-dlp, so do not put yt-dlp again as argument.

1. Check video and audio format code

$ podman run --rm tnk4on/yt-dlp -F <url>

2. Create a folder to download the video on the host, specify the format code and URL of the video and audio, and execute it.

$ mkdir -p /tmp/yt-dlp;chmod o+w /tmp/yt-dlp
$ VIDEO=137
$ AUDIO=140
$ URL=<url>
$ podman run --rm \
    -v /tmp/yt-dlp:/media:Z \
    --userns keep-id \
    tnk4on/yt-dlp \
    -f ${VIDEO}+${AUDIO} --merge-output-format mp4 ${URL}

.bashrc You can omit command input by specifying an alias for

$ cat ~/.bashrc
...
alias yt-dlp="podman run --rm tnk4on/yt-dlp"

Sample 1 (Check the version of FFmepg)

$ podman run --rm \--entrypoint "" tnk4on/yt-dlp ffmpeg -version |head -n1
ffmpeg version 4.4.1-static https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/  Copyright (c) 2000-2021 the FFmpeg developers

Sample 2 (launch a shell)

$ podman run --rm --entrypoint "" -it tnk4on/yt-dlp sh
/media $ 

If you specify the video and audio format code and URL in the argument of the shell script and execute it, an MP4 file will be output. YouTube Studio's video download feature can only download 720p (1280x720) videos, so you can use it to get 1080p (1920x1080) videos.

Copy the script to an executable path and grant execute permission

$ mkdir ~/bin
$ cp yt-dlp-mp4.sh ~/bin
$ chmod +x ~/bin/yt-dlp-mp4.sh

1. yt-dlp -F To check the video and audio formats

$ yt-dlp -F <url>

2. Run the script with arguments in the order of video, audio, URL

$ yt-dlp-mp4.sh 137 140 <url>
