This is a front end of yt-dlp and they offer an appimage too.
It doesn't cover everything yp-dlp can do however, it's not bad.
Otherwise you can use
https://freetubeapp.io/ that isn't specialized in download but in reproduction of videos but it can also download.
They, too, offer an appimage

Is this the file I need ytdownloader-gui.tar.gz? Do you have it in xzm so I can use it? If not how do I get it ready to use? I have never done this before.

If all goes well (and with those two programs it should since I use them with nemesis) you don't need anything. You download them, give them run permissions (chmod +x ./file.Appimage), and run them.
Then it may happen that sometimes some dependencies were not included but in that case you can download them to your distro.
P.s. I do not have them in xzm, I use appimage directly, however they should both be on aur wanting to build the xzm package.

Do I need libappimage-1.0.4.5-7-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz to make that program to work?

Sorry, I realized now that you were just asking me what file to download, English is not my native language and when I am tired I misunderstand.
The links to the files for downloading are:
ytDownloader
https://github.com/aandrew-me/ytDownloa ... x.AppImage
FreeTube
https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube ... 4.AppImage

No, the appimage generally should have all the necessary dependencies.
In these case with nemesis I can guarantee you that they go without installing any other dependencies.

Sorry, I fixed both links (by mistake I had put the freetube link to the penultimate version, now it is the latest).
Remember that regarding youtube, sometimes the programs need to be updated because google tends to break compatibility with yt-dlp.

What specifically is not working?
Because I have been using them until today, by the way of ytdownloader I don't even have the latest version.
I almost wanted to make you a video but I am a little tired now and then I should upload it somewhere.
But basically download, permissions, execution:
1) wget https://...../file.Appimage
2) chmod +x ./file.Appimage
3) ./file.Appimage

I found this
https://ytdownloader.me/en2/ .
All I have to do is used youtube to get the link to the video and save the link then use
https://ytdownloader.me/en2/ .to download the video file.

I just found this
ytdlp-gui-2.0.0-alt1.aarch64.rpm then I converted to a
xzm. When I ran it here is the output.
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ ytdlp-gui
bash: /usr/bin/ytdlp-gui: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
guest@porteus:~$ su
Password:
root@porteus:/home/guest# ytdlp-gui
bash: /usr/bin/ytdlp-gui: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
root@porteus:/home/guest#

ytdlp-gui-2.0.0-alt1.aarch64.rpm
aarch64 is for ARM based hardware, that is, smartphones, tablets, raspberrypi and the like. is why the "Exec format error".
look for
x86_64 packages.
here's a list of yt downloader guis :
