I'm using it currently, but it's not enough
Look at the other comments about tubesync(?) perhaps its better, never tested it my self

That's just ytdl and ffmpeg
I'm not going to connect to my machine from my phone and put it a few commands just to get my shit, sorry.
Download YouTube videos I have previously used meTube, just put the youtube link in it and it downloads it according to your settings (like quality, sound only etc)
