- Downloading music videos from Youtube

## How to use

> Works for Windows / MacOS / Linux! :smile_cat:

> 

> If you are using `python` alias instead of `python3`, use `python` command instead of `python3` (Most likely if you are using Windows)

```bash

# Fill the 'video_list.csv' before running the command.

# First column of the csv file should be 'video name'

# Second column of the csv file should be 'video url'

python3 ./run.py --setup

```

## Downloading video from other websites

- If you are downloading a video from a website that is not officially supported by [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp)...

  - Get the streaming url by using [Video Downloadhelper](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-downloadhelper/lmjnegcaeklhafolokijcfjliaokphfk?hl=ko).

  - Paste the streaming url onto the `video_list.csv`

- I am not responsible for any legal issues caused by copyright violations.

    - Profitting from the videos you downloaded

    - Downloading the videos from the websites where it's not allowed.
