Greetings, tech enthusiasts! Today, we’re excited to introduce you to the latest and greatest update of Telluride Cloud Video Downloader, brought to you by FrostWire – Build 27. With several new features and improvements, this build stands as a testament to the ongoing commitment of FrostWire to make video downloading a breeze for all.

What is Telluride Cloud Video Downloader?

For those new to the name, Telluride is a portable and user-friendly wrapper for yt_dlp, a popular tool used for downloading videos. Telluride simplifies the process, making it easy for users to backup videos locally from a given URL. Plus, it’s supported on MacOS, making it a favorite for Apple aficionados!

Key Features of Build 27:

1. Up-to-date with yt_dlp-2023.7.6: The foundation of Telluride, yt_dlp, has been updated to its 2023.7.6 version. This ensures that users have access to the latest fixes and enhancements from the yt_dlp community.
2. Audio-only Download: With the new --audio-only option, users can download videos and keep only a separate audio file, which is usually in .mp3 format. Do note, this requires ffmpeg to be installed in the system. This feature is perfect for music enthusiasts wanting to enjoy the audio of a video track without the visuals.
3. Metadata Extraction: The new --meta-only option is a game-changer for those who thrive on details. Instead of downloading the video, this option prints a JSON dictionary packed with all the available metadata on the video file found at the provided URL.
4. Updated Development Tools: To ensure that Telluride remains robust and bug-free, several development tools have been updated:
   • pip to version 23.2.1
   • astroid to version 2.15.6
   • pylint to version 2.17.5
   • pyinstaller to version 5.13.0

How to Use Build 27?

Using the new build is straightforward. By executing ./telluride_macos.x86_64 followed by the desired options and the page URL, you’re good to go!
