Si desconozco todo lo que menciona porque no soy ingeniero de sistemas o relacionado. Deberia aplicar esto en mi laptop. me recomiendan algun tema en particular para aprender mas de esto por favor. se me van a borrar esos videos en 2 semanas y los necesito pero no puedo pagar el premium

Works like a charm! I added a fork with parallel downloading in case you need to download and process multiple at a time. I obtained links with selenium, and then made a list of videos. The MAX_WORKERS are basically the number of parallel videos to download and process. This makes the process way much faster.

I've used this from javier-ortizt
I'm a newbie here, but I'm so glad I got it to work haha! Basically, I installed ffmpeg on my Mac using Homebrew (I followed this tutorial) and once it's set up, I ran the command

python3 tldv.py

Thanks so much!!
