.SH DESCRIPTION

.PP
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[B]youtube-dl\f[] is a small command-line program to download videos
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
from YouTube.com and a few more sites.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
It requires the Python interpreter, version 2.x (x being at least 6),
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
and it is not platform specific.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
It should work in your Unix box, in Windows or in Mac OS X.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
It is released to the public domain, which means you can modify it,
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
redistribute it or use it however you like.

.SH CONFIGURATION
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.PP
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
You can configure youtube-dl by placing default arguments (such as
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]--extract-audio\ --no-mtime\f[] to always extract the audio and not
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
copy the mtime) into \f[C]/etc/youtube-dl.conf\f[] and/or
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]~/.local/config/youtube-dl.conf\f[].
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.SH OUTPUT TEMPLATE
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.PP
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
The \f[C]-o\f[] option allows users to indicate a template for the
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
output file names.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
The basic usage is not to set any template arguments when downloading a
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
single file, like in
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]youtube-dl\ -o\ funny_video.flv\ "http://some/video"\f[].
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
However, it may contain special sequences that will be replaced when
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
downloading each video.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
The special sequences have the format \f[C]%(NAME)s\f[].
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
To clarify, that is a percent symbol followed by a name in parenthesis,
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
followed by a lowercase S.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
Allowed names are:
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.IP \[bu] 2
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]id\f[]: The sequence will be replaced by the video identifier.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.IP \[bu] 2
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]url\f[]: The sequence will be replaced by the video URL.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.IP \[bu] 2
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]uploader\f[]: The sequence will be replaced by the nickname of the
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
person who uploaded the video.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.IP \[bu] 2
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]upload_date\f[]: The sequence will be replaced by the upload date
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
in YYYYMMDD format.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.IP \[bu] 2
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]title\f[]: The sequence will be replaced by the video title.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.IP \[bu] 2
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]ext\f[]: The sequence will be replaced by the appropriate extension
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
(like flv or mp4).
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.IP \[bu] 2
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]epoch\f[]: The sequence will be replaced by the Unix epoch when
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
creating the file.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.IP \[bu] 2
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]autonumber\f[]: The sequence will be replaced by a five-digit
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
number that will be increased with each download, starting at zero.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.PP
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
The current default template is \f[C]%(id)s.%(ext)s\f[], but that will
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
be switchted to \f[C]%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s\f[] (which can be
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
requested with \f[C]-t\f[] at the moment).
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.PP
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
In some cases, you don\[aq]t want special characters such as 中, spaces,
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
or &, such as when transferring the downloaded filename to a Windows
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
system or the filename through an 8bit-unsafe channel.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
In these cases, add the \f[C]--restrict-filenames\f[] flag to get a

shorter title:

.SS Can you please put the -b option back?

.PP
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
Most people asking this question are not aware that youtube-dl now
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
defaults to downloading the highest available quality as reported by
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
YouTube, which will be 1080p or 720p in some cases, so you no longer
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
need the -b option.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
For some specific videos, maybe YouTube does not report them to be
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
available in a specific high quality format you\[aq]\[aq]re interested
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
in.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
In that case, simply request it with the -f option and youtube-dl will

			||||||
try to download it.

Apparently YouTube requires you to pass a CAPTCHA test if you download

					 | 
				
			||||||
too much.

			||||||
We\[aq]\[aq]re considering to provide a way to let you solve the

					 | 
				
			||||||
CAPTCHA (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/154), but at the
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
moment, your best course of action is pointing a webbrowser to the
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
youtube URL, solving the CAPTCHA, and restart youtube-dl.

Since June 2012 (#342) youtube-dl is packed as an executable zipfile,
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
simply unzip it (might need renaming to \f[C]youtube-dl.zip\f[] first on
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
some systems) or clone the git repository, as laid out above.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
If you modify the code, you can run it by executing the
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
\f[C]__main__.py\f[] file.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
To recompile the executable, run \f[C]make\ youtube-dl\f[].
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
.SS The exe throws a \f[I]Runtime error from Visual C++\f[]
 | 
					 |

Your exact command line, like

\f[C]youtube-dl\ -t\ "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHlDtZ6Oc3s&feature=channel_video_title"\f[].

A common mistake is not to escape the \f[C]&\f[].

Putting URLs in quotes should solve this problem.
