GitHub - Ytdl-org/youtube-dl: Command-line Program to Download Videos from YouTube.com and other Video Sites

On Windows you may also need to setup the %HOME% environment variable manually. May not be available. Note that on Windows you may need to use double quotes instead of single. Note that some of the sequences are not guaranteed to be present since they depend on the metadata obtained by a particular extractor. If you are using an output template inside a Windows batch file then you must escape plain percent characters (%) by doubling, video shorts so that -o "%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s" should become -o "%%(title)s-%%(id)s.%%(ext)s". Each aforementioned sequence when referenced in an output template will be replaced by the actual value corresponding to the sequence name. To use percent literals in an output template use %%. To output to stdout use -o -. You can also use --config-location if you want to use custom configuration file for a particular youtube-dl run. You can use --ignore-config if you want to disable the configuration file for a particular youtube-dl run. This con te​nt h as been generated ᠎with　GSA C on​te nt​ Gen er at or  DEMO .

By default youtube-dl tries to download the best available quality, i.e. if you want the best quality you don't need to pass any special options, youtube shorts youtube-dl will guess it for you by default. For further options, including PGP signatures, see the youtube-dl Download Page. See the pypi page for more information. The key mechanism for achieving this is so-called format selection based on which you can explicitly specify desired format, select formats based on some criterion or criteria, setup precedence and much more. The general syntax for format selection is --format FORMAT or shorter -f FORMAT where FORMAT is a selector expression, i.e. an expression that describes format or formats you would like to download. For example, to download the worst quality video-only format you can use -f worstvideo. Select the worst quality video-only format. Select the worst quality format represented by a single file with video and audio. Select the best quality format represented by a single file with video and audio. Note that slash is left-associative, i.e. formats on the left hand side are preferred, for example -f 22/17/18 will download format 22 if it's available, otherwise it will download format 17 if it's available, otherwise it will download format 18 if it's available, otherwise it will complain that no suitable formats are available for download.

Formats for which the value is not known are excluded unless you put a question mark (?) after the operator. It may sound strange, but some bug reports we receive are completely unrelated to youtube-dl and relate to a different, or even the reporter's own, application. The special sequences may be formatted according to python string formatting operations. Such sequences will be replaced with placeholder value provided with --output-na-placeholder (NA by default). Any missing directory will be automatically created for you. Kcj.mp4 file created in the current directory. You can also use a file extension (currently 3gp, aac, flv, m4a, mp3, mp4, ogg, wav, webm are supported) to download the best quality format of a particular file extension served as a single file, e.g. -f webm will download the best quality format with the webm extension served as a single file. If you want to download several formats of the same video use a comma as a separator, e.g. -f 22,17,18 will download all these three formats, of course if they are available. If you want to download multiple videos and they don't have the same formats available, you can specify the order of preference using slashes.

You may also want to configure automatic credentials storage for extractors that support authentication (by providing login and password with --username and --password) in order not to pass credentials as command line arguments on every youtube-dl execution and prevent tracking plain text passwords in the shell command history. But sometimes you may want to download in a different format, for example when you are on a slow or intermittent connection. Note that these format codes are extractor specific. Note that options in configuration file are just the same options aka switches used in regular command line calls thus there must be no whitespace after - or --, e.g. -o or --proxy but not - o or -- proxy. Note that by default configuration file may not exist so you may need to create it yourself. To activate authentication with the .netrc file you should pass --netrc to youtube-dl or place it in the configuration file. You can configure youtube-dl by placing any supported command line option to a configuration file. This post was ​done by G​SA C᠎ontent Generator​ Demov ersion!
