Download YouTube Audio / Video Files

UniqueBible.app has a built-in browser, which integrates yt-dlp and ffmpeg to allow:

  • downloading YouTube video files
  • converting downloaded YouTube video into mp3 or mp4 formats

This feature is created for downloading sermons, worship songs, training classes, etc.

Installation

See https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html on how to install ffmpeg

If you do not have 'ffmpeg' installed, you can still download YouTube videos but you cannot convert them to mp3 audio files.

yt-dlp should install automatically when running UBA, but if it is not able to, see https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp on how to install yt-dlp manually.
