Posted by jpluimers on 2026/04/06

It took me a while to find, but the canonical URL is Source: [Wayback/Archive] Google – My Activity – Your YouTube Comments

It was a relatively short queste:

GitHub – spotDL/spotify-downloader: Download your Spotify playlists and songs along with album art and metadata (from YouTube if a match is found).

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/01

Need to check the matching algorithm of [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – spotDL/spotify-downloader: Download your Spotify playlists and songs along with album art and metadata (from YouTube if a match is found).

I wanted to download [Wayback/Archive] The Incredits – song and lyrics by Michael Giacchino | Spotify for music practice, but then found Michael listed it on his YouTube channel twice:

A bit later I also found [Wayback/Archive] The Incredits – Transcription (with original score) – YouTube with [Wayback/Archive] The Incredits Sheet Music for Piano, Trombone, Tuba, Flute piccolo & more instruments (Symphony Orchestra) | MuseScore.com

Via [Wayback/Archive] Youtube-dl supports Spotify. How to use it? : youtubedl.

How do you disable these thumbnails that pop up near the end of videos!? : r/youtube

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/09

Since a few years, YouTube puts annoyingly overlays on top of like the last 5 to 10 seconds of videos often covering valuable content.

Lately – while preparing for concerts – I have watched a lot of score music videos where the end really is very important to me (see the example below), for instance when rehearsing [Wayback/Archive] La Alhambra – Llano – YouTube until the final end.

The solution came from [Wayback/Archive] How do you disable these thumbnails that pop up near the end of videos!? : r/youtube

Any YouTube ID is a YouTube ID which means you can use any shorts ID and music ID to watch as a YouTube URL (adding functionality shorts and music URLs lack)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/24

YouTube has diversified its content separating out YouTube Shorts and YouTube Music.

The main YouTube viewing experience has a few advantages over the other two experiences:

  1. content can be monetised
  2. content can arranged into lists (including Watch Later)
  3. auto-play can be turned off

All below links have the same ID, but the ones with checkmarks can use all the above features whereas the ones with crosses cannot.

Twitter: getting a tweet video URL

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/09

For my link archive (as I wish this could be part of a Bookmarklet): the --get-url option of youtube-dl gets you the video URL of a Tweet

# youtube-dl --get-url https://twitter.com/Gert_van_Dijk/status/1548997307017871362

Google: inactive account policies

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/28

Reminder to self to yearly check all my Google accounts because of [Wayback/Archive] Updating our inactive account policies

we are updating our inactivity policy for Google Accounts to 2 years across our products. Starting later this year, if a Google Account has not been used or signed into for at least 2 years, we may delete the account and its contents – including content within Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar), YouTube and Google Photos.
The policy only applies to personal Google Accounts, and will not affect accounts for organizations like schools or businesses. This update aligns our policy with industry standards around retention and account deletion and also limits the amount of time Google retains your unused personal information.
We are going to roll this out slowly and carefully, with plenty of notice:
  • While the policy takes effect today, it will not immediately impact users with an inactive account — the earliest we will begin deleting accounts is December 2023.
  • We will take a phased approach, starting with accounts that were created and never used again.
  • Before deleting an account, we will send multiple notifications over the months leading up to deletion, to both the account email address and the recovery email (if one has been provided).

Youtube – Extract Meta Data – Amnesty International

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/16

Cool that Amnesty International can do a YouTube [Wayback/Archive] Extract Meta Data (Amnesty International).

I wonder if I can write a Bookmarklet for this (it will likely require an HTTP POST request).
