YouKuDownLoader (ykdl) is a Python command-line video downloader focused on China mainland video sites, forked from you-get with restructured code. It downloads and merges video streams using FFmpeg and can play them via mpv.

Use cases

  • download videos from youku
  • save chinese streaming site videos offline
  • download bilibili videos from the command line
  • merge downloaded video and audio streams with ffmpeg
  • batch download videos from mainland china video platforms

When to choose

  • you mainly need videos from China mainland video sites
  • you want a structured, maintained fork of you-get
  • you prefer a pip-installable Python CLI with FFmpeg/mpv integration

When to avoid

  • you need broad international site support rather than China-focused sites
  • you want a GUI downloader
  • you need a downloader in a language other than Python
