.SH FAQ
|
||||
.SS Can you please put the -b option back?
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
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.
