I got inspired by a recent Tasker project (which was only limited for Youtube only) and created this flow.
This one will work with all sites supported by youtube-dl.

Prerequisites:
Termux
Termux:Task
Termux:API
All of them available from F-Droid freely.

Setup:

• Install all above mentioned apps.
• Copy youtube-dl.sh to root of your internal storage (/storage/emulated/0)
• Open Termux
• Run following command one by one (else you may run into error)

  Code: Select all

  termux-setup-storage
  mkdir -p .termux/tasker 
  cp /storage/emulated/0/youtube-dl.sh ~/.termux/tasker/
  chmod 755 ~/.termux/tasker/youtube-dl.sh
  mkdir /data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/shared/youtube-dl

• Import flow to Automagic
• Execute "Install/update youtube-dl" flow. It will install python, ffmpeg and youtube-dl in Termux. You can use this flow to update them whenever new builds of youtube-dl releases.

I have set "Send/Share Intent Received" as trigger. So when a link is shared to Automagic's Send/Share Intent then flow will run.
Video/audio will be saved to "/storage/emulated/0/youtube-dl"
When you select a format which have only video container then youtube-dl will download best available audio for that video and merge then with ffmpeg.

Just tried and works great! I will totally keep it for whenever I need fo download a YouTube video. Maybe a separate app weighs less, but this is much cooler
I don't understand much of all that it does but I think it opens up the possibilities of what you can do with AM if you know what you do.

Updated flow to
Prefer m4a audio if video format is mp4, webm audio if video format is webm
Show log after download
Added format to file name
