to match if the key is present, !key to
- check if the key is not present,key >
+ check if the key is not present, key >
NUMBER (like "comment_count > 12", also
works with >=, <, <=, !=, =) to compare
- against a number, and & to require multiple
- matches. Values which are not known are
- excluded unless you put a question mark (?)
- after the operator.For example, to only
- match videos that have been liked more than
- 100 times and disliked less than 50 times
- (or the dislike functionality is not
- available at the given service), but who
- also have a description, use --match-filter
- "like_count > 100 & dislike_count <? 50 &
- description" .
+ against a number, key = 'LITERAL' (like
+ "uploader = 'Mike Smith'", also works with
+ !=) to match against a string literal and &
+ to require multiple matches. Values which
+ are not known are excluded unless you put a
+ question mark (?) after the operator. For
+ example, to only match videos that have
+ been liked more than 100 times and disliked
+ less than 50 times (or the dislike
+ functionality is not available at the given
+ service), but who also have a description,
+ use --match-filter "like_count > 100 &
+ dislike_count <? 50 & description" .
--no-playlist Download only the video, if the URL refers
to a video and a playlist.
--yes-playlist Download the playlist, if the URL refers to
--id Use only video ID in file name
-o, --output TEMPLATE Output filename template, see the "OUTPUT
TEMPLATE" for all the info
- --autonumber-size NUMBER Specify the number of digits in
- %(autonumber)s when it is present in output
- filename template or --auto-number option
- is given (default is 5)
--autonumber-start NUMBER Specify the start value for %(autonumber)s
(default is 1)
--restrict-filenames Restrict filenames to only ASCII
characters, and avoid "&" and spaces in
filenames
- -A, --auto-number [deprecated; use -o
- "%(autonumber)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" ] Number
- downloaded files starting from 00000
- -t, --title [deprecated] Use title in file name
- (default)
- -l, --literal [deprecated] Alias of --title
-w, --no-overwrites Do not overwrite files
-c, --continue Force resume of partially downloaded files.
By default, youtube-dl will resume
The basic usage is not to set any template arguments when downloading a
single file, like in youtube-dl -o funny_video.flv "http://some/video".
