It works on bit and bit Windows. It works only on bit Windows. Like this source :. Then you can choose to download a certain format-type by entering the number for the format code in the sample below 11 :.
Example from webupd8. You can get more options here. According to this comment by glenn-slayden, an mp4 format with highest video quality is obtained as follows:. Notice that, in the first term, the ext filter is specified for the audio but not the video , a technique which I didn't see mentioned in the discussion above.
If that seems backwards for my stated goals, that might be because, considering that we're trying to ensure that the video format is mp4 , why is the constraint given for the audio?
The key is that each fallback term separated by the slashes will fail if any part of its requirement fails, moving on to the next term. But what if you care more about getting a mp4 container than you do about the audio quality? By insisting on m4a audio first--but then relenting on just that part while issuing bestvideo again-- by using the the format selection above you essentially express a flexible preference for mp4 over the other containers; you surely do want mp4 if possible, but not at the cost of reduced video quality.
As I said, you may still get some mkv , but they will be greatly reduced in number and only used when required to supply a supposedly better video. In the latter case, adding --merge-output-format mp4 will convert to mp4 if required.
So the full command is:. I am not sure if that's proper to do, only that it works, and gives an mp4 file with both highest quality audio and video for the mp4 format. Since ampersand is one of the special shell characters it's interpreted by the shell preventing you from passing the whole URL to youtube-dl. To disable your shell from interpreting the ampersands or any other special characters you have to either put the whole URL in quotes or escape them with a backslash which approach will work depends on your shell.
In February , the new YouTube player contained a character sequence in a string that was misinterpreted by old versions of youtube-dl. These two error codes indicate that the service is blocking your IP address because of overuse.
Since June youtube-dl is packed as an executable zipfile, simply unzip it might need renaming to youtube-dl. To recompile the executable, run make youtube-dl. If you put youtube-dl and ffmpeg in the same directory that you're running the command from, it will work, but that's rather cumbersome. From then on, after restarting your shell, you will be able to access both youtube-dl and ffmpeg and youtube-dl will be able to find ffmpeg by simply typing youtube-dl or ffmpeg , no matter what directory you're in.
If you want this for all of your downloads, put the option into your configuration file. In order to extract cookies from browser use any conforming browser extension for exporting cookies. For example, cookies. Passing cookies to youtube-dl is a good way to workaround login when a particular extractor does not implement it explicitly. YouTube, CloudFlare. You will first need to tell youtube-dl to stream media to stdout with -o - , and also tell your media player to read from stdin it must be capable of this for streaming and then pipe former to latter.
For example, streaming to vlc can be achieved with:. Use download-archive feature. Each subsequent run with the same --download-archive will download only new videos and skip all videos that have been downloaded before.
Note that only successful downloads are recorded in the file. Each subsequent run will only download new videos if any:. When youtube-dl detects an HLS video, it can download it either with the built-in downloader or ffmpeg. When youtube-dl knows that one particular downloader works better for a given website, that downloader will be picked.
Otherwise, youtube-dl will pick the best downloader for general compatibility, which at the moment happens to be ffmpeg. In particular, the generic extractor used when your website is not in the list of supported sites by youtube-dl cannot mandate one specific downloader. If you put either --hls-prefer-native or --hls-prefer-ffmpeg into your configuration, a different subset of videos will fail to download correctly. Instead, it is much better to file an issue or a pull request which details why the native or the ffmpeg HLS downloader is a better choice for your use case.
As a matter of policy as well as legality , youtube-dl does not include support for services that specialize in infringing copyright. As a rule of thumb, if you cannot easily find a video that the service is quite obviously allowed to distribute i. A note on the service that they don't host the infringing content, but just link to those who do, is evidence that the service should not be included into youtube-dl.
The same goes for any DMCA note when the whole front page of the service is filled with videos they are not allowed to distribute. A "fair use" note is equally unconvincing if the service shows copyright-protected videos in full without authorization. Support requests for services that do purchase the rights to distribute their content are perfectly fine though. If in doubt, you can simply include a source that mentions the legitimate purchase of content. Also known as: Help, my important issue not being solved!
The youtube-dl core developer team is quite small. While we do our best to solve as many issues as possible, sometimes that can take quite a while. To speed up your issue, here's what you can do:. First of all, please do report the issue at our issue tracker. That allows us to coordinate all efforts by users and developers, and serves as a unified point. Unfortunately, the youtube-dl project has grown too large to use personal email as an effective communication channel.
Please read the bug reporting instructions below. A lot of bugs lack all the necessary information. If you can, offer proxy, VPN, or shell access to the youtube-dl developers.

Feel free to bump the issue from time to time by writing a small comment "Issue is still present in youtube-dl version Please do not declare your issue as important or urgent. For one, have a look at the list of supported sites.
In that case, simply report a bug. It is not possible to detect whether a URL is supported or not. That's because youtube-dl contains a generic extractor which matches all URLs. You may be tempted to disable, exclude, or remove the generic extractor, but the generic extractor not only allows users to extract videos from lots of websites that embed a video from another service, but may also be used to extract video from a service that it's hosting itself. Therefore, we neither recommend nor support disabling, excluding, or removing the generic extractor.
If you want to find out whether a given URL is supported, simply call youtube-dl with it. If you get no videos back, chances are the URL is either not referring to a video or unsupported. You can find out which by examining the output if you run youtube-dl on the console or catching an UnsupportedError exception if you run it from a Python program. The issue template also guides you through some basic steps you can do, such as checking that your version of youtube-dl is current.

I know I can use youtube-dl -F to see all available formats, choose one and then run another command, but I want to download videos automatically through a script. The furthest I've got is:. But this chooses the best mp4 option which has audio also, and so usually isn't the best video quality p instead of p. I use this to get the best quality mp4 files that will play on a RPi, which is terrible for playing video in a browser:. Looking at the download options with -F, it seems like it still downloads the best video regardless of it being an mp4 or not, in my case a webm , and then converts it to mp4?
As the file sizes match between the downloaded file and the best quality in -F.
