iina-plugin-ytdl

April 23, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

This package is largely a re-implementation of the mpv ytdl_hook.lua under IINA's plugin system, but with additional features.

Features

  • Maintain an up-to-date local copy of the yt-dlp binary
  • Switch video resolution on the fly
  • Download video files

Setup & Build

npm i
npm run build

You may use the bundled iina-plugin binary to load or package the plugin.

This will create a symbolic link to the plugin in IINA's plugin directory and IINA will load the plugin in development mode:

iina-plugin link .

An iinaplgz file will be created in the current directory after running the pack command:

iina-plugin pack .

Please check out the guide in the documentation for more information.
