Youtube Downloader Alfred Workflow

Alfred workflow for quickly grabbing video/audio off YouTube using youtube-dl.

Why?

I got too lazy to keep opening Terminal and typing in the command 😀

Requirements

• Alfred Powerpack (Tested on Alfred v4.3.4)
• youtube-dl
• ffmpeg (if saving as audio)

Setup

1. Add workflow to Alfred.
2. Set variables:
   • download_path: absolute path of the directory you want your files to be saved to.
   • youtubedl_location: absolute path of your youtube-dl directory (can be located by running which youtube-dl in a terminal emulator)

     Usage

     ytdl 

     Then select the option you want.
