about ytdlp-plugins

ytdlp-plugins extends the possibilities of yt-dlp by allowing to install new extractors from python packages.

For example: currently yt-dlp has very limited support for brighteon.com videos.

But you can install the ytdlp-brighteon package (pip install ytdlp-brighteon) and now you have full support for livestreams, channels and playlists:

>>> ytdlp-plugins https://brighteon.tv -F

about yt-dlp

yt-dlp is a youtube-dl fork based on the now inactive youtube-dlc. The main focus of this project is adding new features and patches while also keeping up to date with the original project

Note that all plugins are imported even if not invoked, and that there are no checks performed on plugin code. Use plugins at your own risk and only if you trust the code
