Downloader plugin safety

  • Hi, sorry for asking, but i was not able to find the answer quickly.


    How does the downloader plugin work for YouTube videos and is it safe too use? I figured it is kind of illegal to download YouTube videos, so i wondered how safe it is to use.

    How does the downloader plugin work for YouTube videos and is it safe too use?

    It uses youtube-dl (yt-dlp on OMV 6.x) or curl or aria2c. youtube-dl is a very well known and safe package and it can download much more than just youtube. The plugin was not written to just download youtube. It was written to download anything you would normally download from the command line.

    I figured it is kind of illegal to download YouTube videos, so i wondered how safe it is to use.

    How you choose to use the plugin is your issue and you should follow the rules in your country.
