It requires the <a href="http://www.python.org/">Python -interpreter</a>, version 2.4 or later, and it's not platform specific. -It should work in your Unix box, in Windows or in Mac OS X. The latest version -is <strong>@PROGRAM_VERSION@</strong>. It's released to the public domain, -which means you can modify it, redistribute it or use it however you like.</p> - -<p>I'll try to keep it updated if YouTube.com changes the way you access -their videos. After all, it's a simple and short program. However, I can't -guarantee anything. If you detect it stops working, check for new versions -and/or inform me about the problem, indicating the program version you -are using. If the program stops working and I can't solve the problem but -you have a solution, I'd like to know it. If that happens and you feel you -can maintain the program yourself, tell me. My contact information is -at <a href="http://freshmeat.net/~rg3/">freshmeat.net</a>.</p> - -<p>Thanks for all the feedback received so far. I'm glad people find my -program useful.</p> - -<h2>Usage instructions</h2> - -<p>In Windows, once you have installed the Python interpreter, save the -program with the <em>.py</em> extension and put it somewhere in the PATH. -Try to follow the -<a href="http://rg03.wordpress.com/youtube-dl-under-windows-xp/">guide to -install youtube-dl under Windows XP</a>.</p> - -<p>In Unix, download it, give it execution permission and copy it to one -of the PATH directories (typically, <em>/usr/local/bin</em>).</p> - -<p>After that, you should be able to call it from the command line as -<em>youtube-dl</em> or <em>youtube-dl.py</em>. I will use <em>youtube-dl</em> -in the following examples. Usage instructions are easy. Use <em>youtube-dl</em> -followed by a video URL or identifier. Example: <em>youtube-dl -"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar"</em>. The video will be saved -to the file <em>foobar.flv</em> in that example. As YouTube.com -videos are in Flash Video format, their extension should be <em>flv</em>. -In Linux and other unices, video players using a recent version of -<em>ffmpeg</em> can play them. That includes MPlayer, VLC, etc. Those two -work under Windows and other platforms, but you could also get a -specific FLV player of your taste.</p> - -<p>If you try to run the program and you receive an error message containing the -keyword <em>SyntaxError</em> near the end, it means your Python interpreter -is too old.</p> - -<h2>More usage tips</h2> - -<ul> - -<li>You can change the file name of the video using the -o option, like in -<em>youtube-dl -o vid.flv "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar"</em>. -Read the <a href="#otpl">Output template</a> section for more details on -this.</li> - -<li>Some videos require an account to be downloaded, mostly because they're -flagged as mature content. You can pass the program a username and password -for a YouTube.com account with the -u and -p options, like <em>youtube-dl --u myusername -p mypassword "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar"</em>.</li> - -<li>The account data can also be read from the user .netrc file by indicating -the -n or --netrc option. The machine name is <em>youtube</em> in that -case.</li> - -<li>The <em>simulate mode</em> (activated with -s or --simulate) can be used -to just get the real video URL and use it with a download manager if you -prefer that option.</li> - -<li>The <em>quiet mode</em> (activated with -q or --quiet) can be used to -supress all output messages. This allows, in systems featuring /dev/stdout -and other similar special files, outputting the video data to standard output -in order to pipe it to another program without interferences.</li> - -<li>The program can be told to simply print the final video URL to standard -output using the -g or --get-url option.</li> - -<li>In a similar line, the -e or --get-title option tells the program to print -the video title.</li> - -<li>The default filename is <em>video_id.flv</em>. But you can also use the -video title in the filename with the -t or --title option, or preserve the -literal title in the filename with the -l or --literal option.</li> - -<li>You can make the program append <em>&fmt=something</em> to the URL -by using the -f or --format option. This makes it possible to download high -quality versions of the videos when available.</li> - -<li>The -b or --best-quality option is an alias for -f 18.</li> - -<li>The -m or --mobile-version option is an alias for -f 17.</li> - -<li>Normally, the program will stop on the first error, but you can tell it -to attempt to download every video with the -i or --ignore-errors option.</li> - -<li>The -a or --batch-file option lets you specify a file to read URLs from. -The file must contain one URL per line.</li> - -<li>The program can be told not to overwrite existing files using the -w or ---no-overwrites option.</li> - -<li>For YouTube, you can also use the URL of a playlist, and it will download -all the videos in that playlist.</li> - -<li>For YouTube, you can also use the special word <em>ytsearch</em> to -download search results. With <em>ytsearch</em> it will download the -first search result. With <em>ytsearchN</em>, where N is a number, it -will download the first N results. With <em>ytsearchall</em> it will -download every result for that search. In most systems you'll need to -use quotes for multiple words. Example: <em>youtube-dl "ytsearch3:cute -kittens"</em>. - -<li><em>youtube-dl</em> honors the <em>http_proxy</em> environment variable -if you want to use a proxy. Set it to something like -<em>http://proxy.example.com:8080</em>, and do not leave the <em>http://</em> -prefix out.</li> - -<li>You can get the program version by calling it as <em>youtube-dl --v</em> or <em>youtube-dl --version</em>.</li> - -<li>For usage instructions, use <em>youtube-dl -h</em> or <em>youtube-dl ---help.</em></li> - -<li>You can cancel the program at any time pressing Ctrl+C. It may print -some error lines saying something about <em>KeyboardInterrupt</em>. -That's ok.</li> - -</ul> - -<h2>Download it</h2> - -<p>Note that if you directly click on these hyperlinks, your web browser will -most likely display the program contents. It's usually better to -right-click on it and choose the appropriate option, normally called <em>Save -Target As</em> or <em>Save Link As</em>, depending on the web browser you -are using.</p> - -<p><a href="youtube-dl">@PROGRAM_VERSION@</a></p> -<ul> - <li><strong>MD5</strong>: @PROGRAM_MD5SUM@</li> - <li><strong>SHA1</strong>: @PROGRAM_SHA1SUM@</li> - <li><strong>SHA256</strong>: @PROGRAM_SHA256SUM@</li> -</ul> - -<h2 id="otpl">Output template</h2> - -<p>The -o 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 <em>youtube-dl -o funny_video.flv 'http://some/video'</em>. -However, it may contain special sequences that will be replaced when -downloading each video. The special sequences have the format -<strong>%(NAME)s</strong>. To clarify, that's a percent symbol followed by a -name in parenthesis, followed by a lowercase S. Allowed names are:</p> - -<ul> -<li><em>id</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the video identifier.</li> -<li><em>url</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the video URL.</li> -<li><em>uploader</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the nickname of the -person who uploaded the video.</li> -<li><em>title</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the literal video -title.</li> -<li><em>stitle</em>: The sequence will be replaced by a simplified video -title, restricted to alphanumeric characters and dashes.</li> -<li><em>ext</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the appropriate -extension (like <em>flv</em> or <em>mp4</em>).</li> -</ul> - -<p>As you may have guessed, the default template is <em>%(id)s.%(ext)s</em>. -When some command line options are used, it's replaced by other templates like -<em>%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s</em>. You can specify your own.</p> - -<h2>Authors</h2> - -<ul> -<li>Ricardo Garcia Gonzalez: program core, YouTube.com InfoExtractor, -metacafe.com InfoExtractor and YouTube playlist InfoExtractor.</li> -<li>Danny Colligan: YouTube search InfoExtractor, ideas and patches.</li> -<li>Many other people contributing patches, code, ideas and kind messages.
