# dl-plus
A [youtube-dl][youtube-dl-website] extension with pluggable extractors
## Description
`dl-plus` is an extension and a drop-in replacement of `youtube-dl` (or any compatible fork, e.g., `yt-dlp`). The main goal of the project is to add an easy-to-use extractor plugin system to `youtube-dl` while maintaining full backward compatibility.
`dl-plus` is not a fork of `youtube-dl` and does not contain code from `youtube-dl`, it is a pure dynamic wrapper (thanks to Python dynamic nature) hacking some `youtube-dl` internals.
## Installation
1. Install `dl-plus`:
* using [pipx][pipx-website]:
```
pipx install dl-plus
```
* using pip:
```
pip install dl-plus
```
(**\*nix**) Alternatively, you can download a single file binary (zipapp) and put it somewhere in your `PATH`:
```
curl -L https://github.com/un-def/dl-plus/releases/latest/download/dl-plus -o dl-plus
chmod a+x dl-plus
```
2. Install a backend — `youtube-dl` or any compatible package (fork), e.g., `yt-dlp`:
* using `dl-plus` itself:
```
dl-plus --cmd backend install yt-dlp
```
* using [pipx][pipx-website]:
```
pipx inject dl-plus yt-dlp
```
* using pip:
```
pip install yt-dlp
```
3. (optional) Install some extractor plugins:
* using `dl-plus` itself:
```
dl-plus --cmd extractor install un1def/goodgame
```
PyPI package names are supported too:
```
dl-plus --cmd extractor install dl-plus-extractor-un1def-goodgame
```
* using [pipx][pipx-website]:
```
pipx inject dl-plus dl-plus-extractor-un1def-goodgame
```
* using pip:
```
pip install dl-plus-extractor-un1def-goodgame
```
4. (optional) Create `dl-plus` → `youtube-dl` symlink (for apps relying on `youtube-dl` executable in `PATH`, e.g., [mpv][mpv-website]):
- **\*nix**:
```shell
dlp=$(command -v dl-plus 2>&1) && ln -s "$dlp" "$(dirname "$dlp")/youtube-dl"
```
Use `ln -sf` instead of `ln -s` to overwrite an existing `youtube-dl` executable.
- **Windows** (PowerShell, requires administrative privileges):
```powershell
$dlp = (Get-Command -ErrorAction:Stop dl-plus).Path; New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path ((Get-Item $dlp).Directory.FullName + "\youtube-dl.exe") -Target $dlp
```
