I typed caught a lite sneeze into google and got four hits; the top one was weWtRqoSUOI (official video), wL71FOgp1a4 (2016 remaster), BVef_GdeBs8 (looks like a disc), and SIsXdEw1hIU (Live 1998). Clicking on Videos at the top of the page gives me those four, and three dozen or so more. Most are from youtube, but not all.That's the way I normally look for videos, and ytsearch was also news to me. Is ytsearch limited to finding youtube videos, or more wideranging? One of the benefits of yt-dlp is that I can grab videos off news outlets (print and TV), facebook, tiktok, etc. (BTW I'm not subscribed to social media sites.)
According to https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md, you can do (among other things):
* bilibilisearch: - Bilibili video search * netsearch: - Netverse * nicosearch: - Nico video search * nicosearchdate: - Nico video search, newest first * prxseries: - PRX Series search * prxstories: - PRX Stories search * rfknsearch: - Rokfin search * yvsearch: - Yahoo screen search * scsearch: - Soundcloud search * gvsearch: - Google Video search * ytsearcch: - YouTube search * ytsearchdate: - YouTube search, newest videos first
Occasionally I pick things off youtube's list down the righthand side of a video's webpage, but usually I download the video without even bothering to visit the webpage (unless it's the easiest way to grab those eleven characters). I know nothing about channels. (I don't recall whether the OP is happy googling for things.) Cheers, David.
