- For the time being, you can play WebM files (which are VP8 for video and
- Vorbis for audio, enclosed in a Matroska container) with gst123, which
- was just uploaded to Debian.
+ The upstream author has removed support for the -b ("best format") and
+ the -d ("high def") command line options.
- Other gstreamer-based players should support those files right away, as
- long as you have gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad version at least 0.10.18.3-2
- installed.
+ The behavior now is to download the best quality for each video.
+ If you experience a problem with youtube-dl downloading videos that are
+ too large, you should consider using the --max-quality option to limit
+ which format to use.
- Videos in those formats, where available, are taken automatically with
- the use of the '-b' switch or with the specification of formats 43 (for
- 360p videos) or 45 (for 720p videos).
+ The list of formats (in decreasing quality) can be found with:
