Talk:Youtube-dl

I don’t think 190.83.207.181 is a good editor.
Check the edit history for youtube-dl. I accidentally edited on top of that so I had to undo MY edit to undo his. Accidentally got the numbers wrong. Still learning Wikipedia.

But the point is that I don’t think he is a good editor. Open his contributions page and see what other edit he did. (Yes, he only made two edits.) His talk page also doesn’t exist, but it could be just because nothing was on it in the first place. Anyway, can someone look into this guy? 67.172.89.96 (talk) 03:53, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Is the "Example code" section necessary?
I think most of it counts as WP:NOTMANUAL, and the sentence is factually incorrect as that doesn't always result in the best quality output, especially on YouTube videos.

Also, it should probably be renamed to something like "Example commands" or "Example usage", because it only has commands, and no code. 91.129.108.67 (talk) 18:25, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Court ruling
https://yt-dl.org/ responds with "Due to a ruling of the Hamburg Regional Court, access to this website is blocked." The ruling linked at https://openjur.de/u/2466945.html is in German, perhaps a native speaker can summarise it here. Vicarage (talk) 11:24, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
