libvideo (aka VideoLibrary) is a modern .NET library for downloading YouTube videos. It is portable to most platforms and is very lightweight.

Documentation

Installation

You can grab a copy of the library on NuGet by running:

Install-Package VideoLibrary

Alternatively, you can try building the repo if you like your assemblies extra-fresh.

Supported Platforms

Getting Started

Here's a small sample to help you get familiar with libvideo:

using VideoLibrary;

void SaveVideoToDisk(string link)
{
 var youTube = YouTube.Default; // starting point for YouTube actions
 var video = youTube.GetVideo(link); // gets a Video object with info about the video
 File.WriteAllBytes(@"C:\" + video.FullName, video.GetBytes());
}

Or, if you use Visual Basic:

Imports VideoLibrary

Sub SaveVideoToDisk(ByVal link As String)
 Dim video = YouTube.Default.GetVideo(link)
 File.WriteAllBytes("C:\" & video.FullName, video.GetBytes())
End Sub
