Looks like the whole thing isn't Amazon's, but they rent space in it along with other companies

yt-dlp is gonna be the go-to tool for any YouTube downloading, but I don't have much experience with frontends for it. I use Tartube for archiving channels, but it can be a bit byzantine and might be overkill for what you need--plus, there's a decent chance you will need to manually enter some yt-dlp options anyway (although only during the setup process). That being said, it's the only one I have experience with, so it's the one I'll recommend!

Couple of clarifying questions:

  1. When you say "download a YouTube channel in a particular language", do you just mean a general monolingual channel (e.g. Masahiro Sakurai's Japanese channel), or do you mean a channel that has videos with multiple audio tracks (such as this video with three different language tracks)? Both are doable, but I think you'll need to add an actual command line flag for the latter whereas the former should be achievable pretty simply through Tartube's GUI.

  2. Are the subtitles you're talking about added by the uploader, or are they auto subs (in this case, auto subs that are auto translated)? Both are easily achievable through the GUI, just slightly different instructions for either one. Also, depending on the scope of things, the simplest approach might be to simply download all subtitles (may not want to do that for like a MrBeast video with a dozen subtitle tracks), which also sidesteps the possible issue where the language of tracks isn't properly indicated by the uploader.

  3. When you say "put all streams for a single video together", do you mean that you don't want the video and audio tracks merged into a single file, or just that when you try to download the video you get a pre-merged file that doesn't contain the tracks that you want? Was a little confused by this part.

 

I know you're looking for a GUI solution, but while I wait for clarification I might as well drop a basic yt-dlp command to give you an idea of the parameters we're dealing with (here I'm assuming separate audio tracks and uploader-added subs):

yt-dlp --format bv+ba[language=ja] --sub-langs en --write-subs --convert-subs srt --download-archive channel_archive.txt video_or_channel_url_goes_here

--format bv+ba[language=ja]: gets the "best" video track and Japanese audio track (for a 4K video yt-dlp prefers the VP9 encode, but if it's a video with a lot of views there may also be an AV1 encode--if you want that AV1 encode you have to explicitly opt for it by using bv[vcodec^=av01] instead of plain bv)
--sub-langs en: downloads English subtitle(s)
--write-subs: write subs to an external file (as opposed to embedding them)
--convert-subs srt: converts subs to srt format, if possible
--download-archive channel_archive.txt: writes the IDs of successfully downloaded videos to the specified file channel_archive.txt. If you re-run this command, these videos will be automatically and very speedily skipped over without needing to fetch any additional information. Even without this option, yt-dlp is smart enough to skip over videos that have already been downloaded (assuming the output filenames will be the same), but it will go through the entire process of fetching all the video information for each video up to the point it is about to start downloading, which is a huge waste of time if you're just updating a channel archive and need only the newest three videos.

Everything in that command (except for the audio track bit, to my knowledge) can be handled in the Tartube GUI in relatively simple fashion, provided you know which menus to dig into.

edit: forgot the URL in my command, kinda important!

Just like old times ussr-cry

Sorry you have to deal with this shit, must be infuriating.

The safety of our community is paramount. We are devoting enormous care and resources—in close coordination with our various event properties, transportation partners, and local authorities—to ensure a secure event.

How about, idk, going to a state that's not actively trying to eradicate trans people?

We respect anyone who decides they will not attend. Every individual invited by their company to the Workplace Summit deserves the space and support to navigate their individual concerns and circumstances related to safety and security. For those who decide to not travel, the e-pass attendee option will provide a terrific set of Workplace Summit experiences.

This is the exact same bullshit we heard about "personal risk assessment" when all the libs wanted to go back to brunch.

(also GDQ >>>>>)

How is Ken Chesebro a real name

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Never heard of Eric Weinstein and for some reason I thought Sam Harris looked way different (I think I've only ever heard him and not seen him).

The original Axios article this pulls from has a bit more detail

Maybe spoiling the moviegoing experience rather than spoiling the plot?

Enjoy the superior version (and check out the rest of the channel if you dig it--there's plenty more where that came from)

This is a cover of a vocaloid song by Kikuo with English lyrics written by Nerissa herself. I thought she did a really good job with the lyrics. 9 times out of 10, English localizations of Japanese songs sound awkward because of the completely different prosody and speed of the languages, but I don't detect any of that awkwardness in this cover; probably doesn't hurt that the lyrics in the original are delivered at a slow, even pace, but that still doesn't make it easy. And her delivery of the lyrics really demands your attention, effectively channeling the anguish of the protagonist.

I think what sets this cover apart is not just her vocal chops, but the fact that she clearly had an artistic vision for her performance, giving it depth which is missing from a lot of covers which technically execute the material but end up sounding flat. Been bumping it constantly ever since it dropped.
