🔒 Help with YT video downloader project using Pytube library

[hollow bay]

I can't figure out how to get the DASH high quality streams. I know I have to download audio and video streams separately and then use ffmpeg to merge them into one file.

• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

Hey @hollow bay!

It looks like you pasted Python code without syntax highlighting.

Please use syntax highlighting to improve the legibility of your code and make it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

from pytubefix import YouTube
from pytubefix.cli import on_progress

def download_video(url):
    yt = YouTube(url, on_progress_callback = on_progress)
    print("Title: ", yt.title)
 
    yt.streams.filter(adaptive=True)
    yt.streams.order_by('resolution')
    yt.streams.desc()

    ys = yt.streams.first()
    ys.download(output_path=r"C:\Users\Saksham Vats\Desktop")


user_url = input("Enter the video URL: ")
download_video(user_url)

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[hollow bay]

If I try to download my own video, is it really malicious?

[tribal ember]

Its against Youtube TOS

[vestal trout]

YT doesn't allow automation of downloads as it's a feature of yt premium which is a paid version

[hollow bay]

why stick up for YT though

[vestal trout]

Because python discord is a neutral entity that wishes to not have alphabet going after it for facilitating bad behavior

[hollow bay]

fair enough

I'll ask elsewhere

[tribal ember]

Its still against Youtube TOS and you can potentially get banned from youtube

[hollow bay]

Good to know
