Youtubes fresh battle with adblockers has had me on a 6 month music video rip spree, with no signs of slowing down.

Right now Jdownloader2 plus a browser extension to copy cookie info to the clipboard is working half decently.

Once I started, I realized I can do a lot more with the videos now that they’re off youtube. No more ASR subtitles, I can time lyrics myself using Gaupol. I’ve also figured out how to pack the new subtitle, as well as original thumbnails and YT descriptions into the video using mkvtoolnix. Now a single video file can be dropped into jellyfin and fully provide its own local Metadata.

It’s going well and I’m not slowing down at all. Fuck you, youtube.

Jdownloader2 is some horrid looking Java program that actually kicks ass.

I had this movie at the top of my list stuck at 71% for at least two years. Hundreds of other torrents came and went. Its easier to find it these days.

Totally worth it
