Downloads

 
A new version of YAFFplayer is ready for Windows 64-bit and Linux 64-bit.

YAFFplayer is a simple video player based on FFmpeg and made with GeeXLab. Thanks to the popular youtube-dl utility, YAFFplayer can easily download video files from many youtube-like websites and even videos from Twitter.

This new update of YAFFplayer replaces youtube-dl by yt-dlp. Why? Because youtube-dl project seems a bit inactive (last update in June 2021). yt-dlp is a fork of youtube-dl and is actively maintained.
