Thanks, am I correct in thinking that you copy the URL of the Youtube page you want to download into a terminal preceded by "yt-dl -f"? But what is the "something" please?

I've never seen yt-dl command - afaik, it's either "youtube-dl" or "yt-dlp" (the latter is a more updated fork).

The "-f <something>" is unnecessary unless you want to change the format downloaded. (Also, given the behaviour of < and > in a command line, using "<something>" isn't a great move.) So to get the first of those you can just use, e.g:

Code:

yt-dlp 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSZs4jp79uE'

If you do want to change the format (e.g. because limited bandwidth or disk space), first use "youtube-dl -F 'URL'" to see the available formats, then use (e.g.) "-f 22" or whatever to select the right one. (Occasionally that means downloading video+audio formats and having ffmpeg merge them.)

Also, sometimes URLs require single quotes around them - I find it easier to just always single-quote URLs.

It's not youtube but these recent shows might be something that you enjoy @grumpyskeptic
Here is a sampling of some recent ones.
They are streaming with separate audio/video. ffmpeg will take care of it for you. Or use what you wish.

Look them up on imdb first.

The Lodger
A silent film from 1927! Hitchcock's first feature, staring Ivor Novello and June, and based on the best-seller by Marie Belloc Lowndes.

The Plank
A TV comedy involving two builders trying to get a plank to finish a floor. Every possible vaudeville or slapstick scene is played out, with almost no dialogue, by a cast of leading comedians and actors.

The Raven (1963 version)
A comedy horror starring Boris Karloff (who'd starred in a straight horror version in 1935), Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and a young Jack Nicholson in an early role. Lorre ad-libbed a lot, including a few classic lines.
