• This portable deployment is based on the embeddable version of Python.

Demo.gif ( 2 min 52 s ) :

This demo was recorded in Simplified Chinese. If your system language is not Chinese, this batch will automatically display in English.
Please create a new issue if you want to help improve the translation quality or add more supported languages.

Note

• For the folder where Deploy.bat is located,
  • You can only move or rename the entire folder as a whole. The name of this folder or the file path should NOT contains special punctuation like: !@$;%^& ;
  • After the deployment, you can delete all the files downloaded in directory res\download\ , to save storage;
  • Except the video files downloaded under the Download\ directory, please do NOT change other files inside.
• If the batch has a run-time error (such as download speed is too slow), please refer to FAQ or Submit new issue .

FFmpeg

The absence of FFmpeg will affect the merging of multiple-parts videos, but has nothing to do with the downloading of videos.

This portable version does NOT deploy FFmpeg by default. To deploy FFmpeg, re-run Deploy.bat and select Deploy FFmpeg.

alias

Run Deploy.bat and select Aliases Management to add customize aliases.

Before adding a custom alias, please try Import default alias. Then start the Download_Video.bat, input open and ENTER.

Take several aliases, which might be commonly used, as examples and references:

Alias	Function
open = explorer .\	Open the current directory, which is Download\
proxy ≈ set HTTP(S)_PROXY=...	Quickly enable/disable proxy for current CMD window (proxy help)
yb = youtube-dl -f bestvideo+bestaudio	Use youtube-dl to download the video of best quality
yf = youtube-dl -F	Use youtube-dl to list all available formats of requested videos
lc = lux -c cookies.txt	Use lux to download, with cookies loaded
ygc = you-get -c cookies.txt	Use you-get to download, with cookies loaded
...	...

Notice: The name of customize alias is preferably a combination of letters, numbers, dashes and/or underscores. It should match the RegExp ^[\w\-]+$, and particularly no whitespace or the special punctuations mentioned above. In addition, the alias must NOT be the same as the command, otherwise it will cause an endless loop.
