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

  • .NET Core Web/Console/ClassLibrary
  • .NET Framework 4.5+
  • .NET Standart 2.1+
  • Windows 10 Universal apps
  • Portable Class Libraries
  • Xamarin.iOS
  • Xamarin.Android
  • Mono (Mac/Linux)
  • Windows 8.1 and 8.0
  • Windows Phone 8.1

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

If you'd like to check out some more of our features, take a look at our docs. You can also refer to our example application (named Valks, yes, I know, it's a silly name) if you're looking for a more comprehensive sample.
