|
|
- separated by a colon ':'. You can use this
|
|
|
- option multiple times
|

|
|
|
- or fribidi executable in PATH
|

## Video Format Options:
|
|
|
- -f, --format FORMAT video format code, specify the order of
|
|
|
- preference using slashes, as in -f 22/17/18
|
|
|
- . Instead of format codes, you can select
|
|
|
- by extension for the extensions aac, m4a,
|
|
|
- mp3, mp4, ogg, wav, webm. You can also use
|
|
|
- the special names "best", "bestvideo",
|
|
|
- "bestaudio", "worst". You can filter the
|
|
|
- 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,
|
|
|
- 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-
|
|
|
- format>+<audio-format> (requires ffmpeg or
|
|
|
- avconv), for example -f
|
|
|
+ -f, --format FORMAT video format code, specify the order of preference using slashes, as in -f 22/17/18 . Instead of format codes, you can select by
