In some cases, you don'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 `--restrict-filenames` flag to get a shorter title: - $ youtube-dl --get-filename -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" BaW_jenozKc - youtube-dl test video ''_ä↭𝕐.mp4 # All kinds of weird characters - $ youtube-dl --get-filename -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" BaW_jenozKc --restrict-filenames - youtube-dl_test_video_.mp4 # A simple file name +```bash +$ youtube-dl --get-filename -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" BaW_jenozKc +youtube-dl test video ''_ä↭𝕐.mp4 # All kinds of weird characters +$ youtube-dl --get-filename -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" BaW_jenozKc --restrict-filenames +youtube-dl_test_video_.mp4 # A simple file name +``` # VIDEO SELECTION @@ -317,14 +319,16 @@ Videos can be filtered by their upload date using the options `--date`, `--dateb Examples: - # Download only the videos uploaded in the last 6 months - $ youtube-dl --dateafter now-6months +```bash +# Download only the videos uploaded in the last 6 months +$ youtube-dl --dateafter now-6months - # Download only the videos uploaded on January 1, 1970 - $ youtube-dl --date 19700101 +# Download only the videos uploaded on January 1, 1970 +$ youtube-dl --date 19700101 - $ # will only download the videos uploaded in the 200x decade - $ youtube-dl --dateafter 20000101 --datebefore 20091231 +$ # will only download the videos uploaded in the 200x decade +$ youtube-dl --dateafter 20000101 --datebefore 20091231 +``` # FAQ @@ -399,49 +403,76 @@ If you want to add support for a new site, you can follow this quick list (assum 2.

Have a look at [`youtube_dl/common/extractor/common.py`](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py) for possible helper methods and a [detailed description of what your extractor should return](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py#L38). Add tests and code for as many as you want. 8. If you can, check the code with [pyflakes](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyflakes) (a good idea) and [pep8](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8) (optional, ignore E501). 9. When the tests pass, [add](https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-add.html) the new files and [commit](https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-commit.html) them and [push](https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-push.html) the result, like this: |
