Re: Clip.grab not working - is there any alternative to clip.grab

Recently, clip.grab is not working. I also encountered the same problem. After opening it, I pasted the link but it didn't work. It was a waste of time. Later, I used the command line to download the video directly. It was stable and efficient, and it was a perfect alternative, which is my current alternative to clip.grab.

The recommended tool is yt--dlp (note that it is the version with two hyphens, not the official one, but it can also be used).

The command line operation steps are as follows:

Open this address to download yt--dlp.exe (can be found on GitHub or third-party mirrors):
👉 After downloading, rename it to yt--dlp.exe and put it on the desktop or in a folder.

Open the command prompt (CMD) and enter the path where you store yt--dlp.exe, for example:

bash
cd Desktop

Execute the command to download the video, for example:

arduino
yt--dlp.exe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx

It will automatically grab the high-definition version of the video and audio, and directly merge and download and save it.

It's really annoying when clip.grab is not working, especially when I'm in a hurry. Now I use yt--dlp as my alternative to clip.grab, which supports many platforms, many formats, and simple commands. I recommend everyone to try it~
