Dead Project / Alternatives?

[SinisterCrayon]

It's looking like this project is dead. No real activity in about a year and the author/owner doesn't appear to have done anything with it. There are also a number of bugs that aren't getting looked at, some of which are going to render the tool inoperable soon for most people because of YouTube's clamping down on automated download tools. If you haven't been hit by the "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" problem then you will be... this is a problem that can be easily worked around with YT-DLP but at the moment there's no way to inject the appropriate extractor-args into this tool without changing the code (something I'm not familiar enough with the code to do).

Are there any alternatives or forks of this that might be workable and maybe fix some of the bugs?

tubearchivist is pretty good. This project isn't dead, i just have issues with adding 1k+ video channels.
Tubearchivist is also pretty hefty compared. Also interested in other alts

Thanks. I installed TubeArchivist and it seems to be a much better and more reliable alternative.

I do love this project and think it has great potential, but I disagree; I think it's dead. No commits or activity in a while despite a number of glaring bugs and issues.
