|
- downloading video in specfic format
|
|
for highest being 480p use
|
|
`yt-dlp -f "best[height<=480]" <URL>`
|
|
Make sure to remove the video from that folder too bcz it wont replace it
|
|
or
|
|
`yt-dlp -f "best[height<=480][ext=mp4]" <URL>`
|
|
most of time there r video only for higher reolution so need to be combine audio and video which yt-dlp will do using ffmpeg
|
|
`yt-dlp -f "bv*[height<=480][ext=mp4]+ba" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZmHlKpDpUU -o output.mp4`
|
|
or
|
|
`yt-dlp -f "bestvideo[height<=720][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[height<=720][ext=mp4]" "https://www.example.com/video"`
|
|
`bv+ba` means best video+best audio
|
|
It will download video only stream of sometimes webm format but with ffmpeg it will convert it to mp4 anyway
|
|
|
|
|
|
- getting video name from playlist
|
|
`yt-dlp --get-filename -o "%(title)s" <youtube playlist url>`
|
|
- download all songs from list of url with embeded thumnail too
|
|
`yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --embed-thumbnail --add-metadata -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" -a urls.txt`
|
|
- downloading yt video with cookies from browser
|
|
use this flag
|
|
`--cookies-from-browser firefox:xhn2zoyv.default`
|
|
|
|
- personal cookies one command
|
|
```bash
|
|
yt-dlp -f "bestvideo[height<=720][ext=mp4][vcodec^=avc1]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[height<=720][ext=mp4]" \
|
|
--write-subs --write-auto-subs --embed-subs --embed-thumbnail --add-metadata \
|
|
-o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQQUuCydpo0"
|
|
--cookies-from-browser firefox:iy5sikrq.default-release-1
|
|
```
|
|
 l
|
|
|
|
for downloading audio
|
|
`yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 playlistURL`
|
|
eg
|
|
`yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --write-subs --write-auto-subs --embed-subs --embed-thumbnail --add-metadata -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" "https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lEekRFbRdvpkPx6orDy3HEVBzTHbC75qg" -t sleep
|

`
|
|
|

for subtitles download
|
|
`yt-dlp --write-subs --skip-download --sub-lang en -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" "https://youtube.com/watch?v=123" -t sleep`
|
|
|
|
**vpn**
|
|
1. when using vpn add `-4` to use ipv4 and will help with faster download.
|
|
2. also your ip will be flagged so better use `-t sleep`
|
|
|
|
when downloading hige playlist or channels make sure to use
|
|
`yt-dlp --download-archive archive.txt "URL"` to avoid downloading same videos again |
