termux-url-opener

My termux-url-opener script with yt-dlp

Installation

Install the Termux:API app

Run these commands:

termux-setup-storage
pkg update
pkg install python3 aria2 ffmpeg jq termux-api
pip install --upgrade yt-dlp
mkdir ~/bin
wget https://github.com/kairusds/termux-url-opener/raw/master/termux-url-opener -P ~/bin
chmod +x ~/bin/termux-url-opener

And you should be good to go.

Usage

From the YouTube app or any app, click Share > More > Termux and it should give you an option to download the shared link via MP3 or Video from the Termux app.

(For the YouTube app, if the More button is not visible, scroll the app icons list horizontally to the right.)

The downloaded MP3 files are located on the Music folder on your Android internal storage, the same goes for videos too but it's on the Movies folder instead.

Notice

• As of today on Feb 29, 2024, ffmpeg v6 seems to be incompatible with the trim video feature. This only happens specifically with Termux/Android and not any other Linux distro.
• If you keep getting Permission denied errors, just regrant the Storage permission for the Termux app manually on its app info page. Running termux-setup-storage again if you already ran the command once wipes your entire internal storage.
