Software: Yt-dlp
Need: Downloading videos from youtube
Other programs I’ve tried: Online webpages made for that purpose, torrents, ytdl.
Why its superior: It’s actively mantained and it has integration with SponsorBlock.
An example command might be `yt-dlp -x—audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 --yes-playlist—sponsorblock-remove all`
Software: Stremio+Plugins
Need: Watching movies online
Honorable mentions: vidsrc.me+adblockers, various torrent sites, Netflix, Amazon Prime, online websites.
Why its superior: It allows for watching movies from any platform, its integration with plugins (particularly the Juan Carlos 2, Torrent.io and ThePirateBay ones) is superb, and its tagging system is convenient.
