I want to be able to type yt-dlp [url] and have it automatically use --sponsorblock-remove CATS to remove sponsored section from the download file without having to type --sponsorblock-remove CATS everytime. Is this possible within yt-dlp?
enabling --write-subs, --write-thumbnail, by default for subtitles and thumbnails would also be convenient

Removed by mod
Just alias it in your .bashrc
alias yt-dlps='yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove CATS --write-subs --write-thumbnail'This will work, but is not as nice as the official way to do it via a config file, as described by another comment here.
It’s better actually, because you don’t need to mess with the config if you want to run it without the switch.
Today I learned yt-dlp has sponsorblock built in
I’m sure there would be a way to create a script that puts the commands that you’d like in for a given url. Also haven’t used yt-dlp, it’s nice that they have sponsorblock built in.
I didn’t even realize it was POSSIBLE to differentiate those sections let alone remove them. Thanks for inadvertently informing me.
If someone didn’t know there is a yt-dlp android front end called YTDLnis, use at your own risk but use it it’s fucking great.
Also there’s Seal which is a bit better imo
I will check it thx for the info 👍👍
Why would you want to remove cats, they’re adorable 🥺
Create a configuration file. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp has the documentation
