my preference was always throwing the url into VLC and finding where the actual file was to download.
I assume this is what downloaders are doing behind the scenes anyway
NewPipe is great for mobile. It has a good user experience even for streaming videos; the download is also super easy to use. One of my favorite apps on my phone for sure.

Not OP, but I love yt-dlp.
Yeah I’d recommend that anyway since I think youtube-dl is deprecated? (Or is it not deprecated, just superceded by yt-dlp. I can’t rightly remember.)
Correct, youtube-dl is outdated and unmaintained
I’ll check it out, thank you!
can recommend yt-dl to download stuff from YouTube https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl
youtube-dl is outdated and unmaintained, yt-dlp is the currently maintained fork and should work much better
cheers mate!
I use newpipe already so it’s a quick download of video or audio file from newpipe itself as I’m looking through subscription.
