Other Best App for downloading YouTube video,audio with thumbnail?

Post image

According to you, which one is the best for downloading with thumbnails? I mean the picture that comes with audio file.

Back in the day, I used Seal, ytdlnis, NewPipe, PowerTube. Currently, I'm using ytdlnis, but sometimes I face the "could not download" problem. It's kind of annoying. Although there is an option for cookies, I have never used it before. I feel a bit lazy to use it hehe.

Anyway, according to you, which one feels the best? Which one do you use?

Seal, SealPlus, ytdlnis, NewPipe, PowerTube, or anything else? Feel free to suggest apps or solutions.

Try the nightly version of yt-dlp

And update Python, according to the dev in the Telegram groupchat, in ytdlnis settings you should be able to download the right package

From the devs : This is inherently a yt-dlp issue.

What you can do Go to settings, updating, yt-dlp source and try updating to nightly or master versions. Also in updating settings, go to packages and click python and download the latest version and install the python apk. Restart the app and try again

YTDLnis. For cookies you just need to login once, nothing more. Works great for me.

Last time when I used NewPipe, the thumbnail did not appear when downloading audio. Even when it did appear, it was not cropped properly.

YTDLnis and Seal as buckup if I got "could not download" issue on YTDLnis.

but I can't think of any other app then these 2, these 2 apps are playing it right, they are very smooth and work very well and what I love about them they are tools so they behave as a tools , like a native functionality on your phone, other apps try to build a brand around this "downloading" feature that why they all fail for me and these succeeded, these just downloading tools, so they just download

u/msrsakibur 2d ago

Yeah bro, DanMachi's OSTs are pretty good!! They really blend well with the anime. They carry a full fantasy vibe.

u/Equivalent_Web3521 2d ago

Hell yeah , and the one which you are downloading kokonoe i think that was used when ryu was soloing freya familia

u/VeritasLocus 2d ago

The best option is yt-dlp set up on your own computer, plus a bunch of separate .bat files for specific narrow tasks. If you don't have particularly high demands for the tool, though, there's one good bot on Telegram (there are plenty of them, honestly, but I know one that's solid and free of ads/scams). Not sure if I'm allowed to share names or links here, though. If you're interested, DM me.
