And finally, thanks to Gabi Tiplea, we have a simple solution. All you have to do is, type in 4 commands in your Termux app and this time it’ll give you options to download different format.

Download Any Video on Android Without Any Third-Party App (Video)

Follow the steps

  1. Go to play store and download the termux app. If you tried the previous tutorial on termux, then uninstall the termux app and reinstall it.
  2. Next, open the termux app and copy paste the 4 commands in the same order. Just copy paste them it will run som commands to download the library.
  3. When prompt, you will have to tap OK, to allow termux access to your storage. And after running few more command, it’ll be all done.
  4. And that’s it. Now, if you go to any video sites that is supported by YouTube-dl and then tap on share button > Select termux app > select any format by typing the number corresponding to it. And there we go.
  5. The downloaded file will be available on your YouTube folder in the root of internal storage.

So, what really changed?

Instead of typing the code one by one like the last time (link above) we have grouped them together in a Pastebin file. And in the current setup, we are using Wget to download that Pastebin file and installing it. In future, if you guys need any feature request, just shoot us an email and we can simply update the paste bin.

Troubleshooting

If you are getting the errors like – http or ftp url not found.

  1. It is very important to uninstall termux and install it again, that’s the key.
  2. Then update with apt update && apt -y upgrade.
  3. Next, give termux access to your storage, termux-setup-storage (this one is optional, I don’t know if it’s working because of this or because of the other steps above, but it’s better to be sure)
  4. Then type the 4 commands in the same order. Here is the Pastebin code for all those who are interested. Second code
