on Windows)
--flat-playlist Do not extract the videos of a playlist,
only list them.
+ --no-color Do not emit color codes in output.
## Network Options:
--proxy URL Use the specified HTTP/HTTPS proxy. Pass in
COUNT views
--max-views COUNT Do not download any videos with more than
COUNT views
+ --match-filter FILTER (Experimental) Generic video filter.
+ Specify any key (see help for -o for a list
+ of available keys) to match if the key is
+ present, !key to check if the key is not
+ present,key > NUMBER (like "comment_count >
+ 12", also works with >=, <, <=, !=, =) to
+ compare against a number, and & to require
+ multiple matches. Values which are not
+ known are excluded unless you put a
+ question mark (?) after the operator.For
+ example, to only match videos that have
+ been liked more than 100 times and disliked
+ less than 50 times (or the dislike
+ functionality is not available at the given
+ service), but who also have a description,
+ use --match-filter "like_count > 100 &
+ dislike_count <? 50 & description" .
--no-playlist If the URL refers to a video and a
playlist, download only the video.
--age-limit YEARS download only videos suitable for the given
--playlist-reverse Download playlist videos in reverse order
--xattr-set-filesize (experimental) set file xattribute
ytdl.filesize with expected filesize
+ --hls-prefer-native (experimental) Use the native HLS
+ downloader instead of ffmpeg.
--external-downloader COMMAND (experimental) Use the specified external
downloader. Currently supports
aria2c,curl,wget
video results by putting a condition in
brackets, as in -f "best[height=720]" (or
-f "[filesize>10M]"). This works for
- filesize, height, width, tbr, abr, vbr, and
- fps and the comparisons <, <=, >, >=, =, !=
- and for ext, acodec, vcodec, container and
- protocol and the comparisons =, != .
- Formats for which the value is not known
- are excluded unless you put a question mark
- (?) after the operator. You can combine
- format filters, so -f "[height <=?
- 720][tbr>500]" selects up to 720p videos
- (or videos where the height is not known)
- with a bitrate of at least 500 KBit/s. By
- default, youtube-dl will pick the best
- quality. Use commas to download multiple
- audio formats, such as -f
+ filesize, height, width, tbr, abr, vbr,
+ asr, and fps and the comparisons <, <=, >,
+ >=, =, != and for ext, acodec, vcodec,
+ container, and protocol and the comparisons
+ =, != . Formats for which the value is not
+ known are excluded unless you put a
+ question mark (?) after the operator. You
+ can combine format filters, so -f "[height
+ <=? 720][tbr>500]" selects up to 720p
+ videos (or videos where the height is not
+ known) with a bitrate of at least 500
+ KBit/s. By default, youtube-dl will pick
+ the best quality. Use commas to download
+ multiple audio formats, such as -f
136/137/mp4/bestvideo,140/m4a/bestaudio.
You can merge the video and audio of two
formats into a single file using -f <video-
postprocessors (default)
--prefer-ffmpeg Prefer ffmpeg over avconv for running the
postprocessors
+ --ffmpeg-location PATH Location of the ffmpeg/avconv binary;
+ either the path to the binary or its
+ containing directory.
--exec CMD Execute a command on the file after
downloading, similar to find's -exec
syntax. Example: --exec 'adb push {}
projects / youtube-dl / blobdiff
