About:
yle-dl is a command-line tool for downloading videos from Yle Areena, the Finnish public service media company. It handles both video and audio streams, supports subtitles, and can process content that requires authentication. The tool is designed for scripting and automation, providing a robust way to archive or access Yle content offline.
Key Features:
  • Downloads video and audio streams from Yle Areena
  • Supports subtitles and multiple quality levels
  • Handles DRM-protected and login-required content
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Use Cases:
  • Archiving Yle Areena content for offline viewing
  • Automating video downloads for media servers or editing workflows
  • Accessing region-locked content while abroad (with valid account)
Alternatives:
  • yt-dlp – General-purpose video downloader; lacks native Yle Areena support and DRM handling
  • StreamFab – GUI-based commercial tool; broader streaming support but not open-source
