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: -.IP -.nf

-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. -.SS I get HTTP error 402 when trying to download a video. What\[aq]s -this? -.PP -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. -.SS I have downloaded a video but how can I play it? -.PP -Once the video is fully downloaded, use any video player, such as -vlc (http://www.videolan.org) or mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/). -.SS The links provided by youtube-dl -g are not working anymore -.PP -The URLs youtube-dl outputs require the downloader to have the correct -cookies. -Use the \f[C]--cookies\f[] option to write the required cookies into a -file, and advise your downloader to read cookies from that file. -Some sites also require a common user agent to be used, use -\f[C]--dump-user-agent\f[] to see the one in use by youtube-dl. -.SS ERROR: no fmt_url_map or conn information found in video info -.PP -youtube has switched to a new video info format in July 2011 which is -not supported by old versions of youtube-dl. -You can update youtube-dl with \f[C]sudo\ youtube-dl\ --update\f[]. -.SS ERROR: unable to download video -.PP -youtube requires an additional signature since September 2012 which is -not supported by old versions of youtube-dl. -You can update youtube-dl with \f[C]sudo\ youtube-dl\ --update\f[]. -.SS SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character -.PP -The error -.IP -.nf -\f[C] -File\ "youtube-dl",\ line\ 2 -SyntaxError:\ Non-ASCII\ character\ \[aq]\\x93\[aq]\ ... -\f[] -.fi -.PP -means you\[aq]re using an outdated version of Python. -Please update to Python 2.6 or 2.7. -.PP -To run youtube-dl under Python 2.5, you\[aq]ll have to manually check it -out like this: -.IP -.nf -\f[C] -git\ clone\ git://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl.git -cd\ youtube-dl -python\ -m\ youtube_dl\ --help -\f[] -.fi -.PP -Please note that Python 2.5 is not supported anymore. -.SS What is this binary file?
