 # FAQ

+### How do I update youtube-dl?
+
+If you've followed [our manual installation instructions](http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html), you can simply run `youtube-dl -U` (or, on Linux, `sudo youtube-dl -U`).
+
+If you have used pip, a simple `sudo pip install -U youtube-dl` is sufficient to update.
+
+If you have installed youtube-dl using a package manager like *apt-get* or *yum*, use the standard system update mechanism to update. Note that distribution packages are often outdated. As a rule of thumb, youtube-dl releases at least once a month, and often weekly or even daily. Simply go to http://yt-dl.org/ to find out the current version. Unfortunately, there is nothing we youtube-dl developers can do if your distributions serves a really outdated version. You can (and should) complain to your distribution in their bugtracker or support forum.
+
+As a last resort, you can also uninstall the version installed by your package manager and follow our manual installation instructions. For that, remove the distribution's package, with a line like
+
+    sudo apt-get remove -y youtube-dl
+
+Afterwards, simply follow [our manual installation instructions](http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html):
+
+```
+sudo wget https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
+sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
+hash -r
+```
+
+Again, from then on you'll be able to update with `sudo youtube-dl -U`.
+
+### I'm getting an error `Unable to extract OpenGraph title` on YouTube playlists
+
+YouTube changed their playlist format in March 2014 and later on, so you'll need at least youtube-dl 2014.07.25 to download all YouTube videos.
+
+If you have installed youtube-dl with a package manager, pip, setup.py or a tarball, please use that to update. Note that Ubuntu packages do not seem to get updated anymore. Since we are not affiliated with Ubuntu, there is little we can do. Feel free to [report bugs](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/youtube-dl/+filebug) to the [Ubuntu packaging guys](mailto:ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com?subject=outdated%20version%20of%20youtube-dl) - all they have to do is update the package to a somewhat recent version. See above for a way to update.
+
+### Do I always have to pass in `--max-quality FORMAT`, or `-citw`?
+
+By default, youtube-dl intends to have the best options (incidentally, if you have a convincing case that these should be different, [please file an issue where you explain that](https://yt-dl.org/bug)). Therefore, it is unnecessary and sometimes harmful to copy long option strings from webpages. In particular, `--max-quality` *limits* the video quality (so if you want the best quality, do NOT pass it in), and the only option out of `-citw` that is regularly useful is `-i`.
+
 ### Can you please put the -b option back?

 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're interested in. In that case, simply request it with the `-f` option and youtube-dl will try to download it.

+### Adding support for a new site
+
+If you want to add support for a new site, you can follow this quick list (assuming your service is called `yourextractor`):
+
+1. [Fork this repository](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/fork)
+2. Check out the source code with `git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/youtube-dl.git`
+3. Start a new git branch with `cd youtube-dl; git checkout -b yourextractor`
+4. Start with this simple template and save it to `youtube_dl/extractor/yourextractor.py`:
+    ```python
+    # coding: utf-8
+    from __future__ import unicode_literals
+
+    from .common import InfoExtractor
+
+
+    class YourExtractorIE(InfoExtractor):
+        _VALID_URL = r'https?://(?:www\.)?yourextractor\.com/watch/(?P<id>[0-9]+)'
+        _TEST = {
+            'url': 'http://yourextractor.com/watch/42',
+            'md5': 'TODO: md5 sum of the first 10241 bytes of the video file (use --test)',

+            return {
+                'id': video_id,

+                # TODO more properties (see youtube_dl/extractor/common.py)
+            }
+    ```
+5. Add an import in [`youtube_dl/extractor/__init__.py`](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/__init__.py).
+6. Run `python test/test_download.py TestDownload.test_YourExtractor`. This *should fail* at first, but you can continually re-run it until you're done. If you decide to add more than one test, then rename ``_TEST`` to ``_TESTS`` and make it into a list of dictionaries. The tests will be then be named `TestDownload.test_YourExtractor`, `TestDownload.test_YourExtractor_1`, `TestDownload.test_YourExtractor_2`, etc.
+7. Have a look at [`youtube_dl/common/extractor/common.py`](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py) for possible helper methods and a [detailed description of what your extractor should return](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py#L38). Add tests and code for as many as you want.
+8. If you can, check the code with [pyflakes](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyflakes) (a good idea) and [pep8](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8) (optional, ignore E501).
+9. When the tests pass, [add](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-add) the new files and [commit](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit) them and [push](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-push) the result, like this:
+
+        $ git add youtube_dl/extractor/__init__.py
+        $ git add youtube_dl/extractor/yourextractor.py
+        $ git commit -m '[yourextractor] Add new extractor'
+        $ git push origin yourextractor
+
+10. Finally, [create a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request). We'll then review and merge it.
+
+In any case, thank you very much for your contributions!

+# EMBEDDING YOUTUBE-DL
+
+youtube-dl makes the best effort to be a good command-line program, and thus should be callable from any programming language. If you encounter any problems parsing its output, feel free to [create a report](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/new).
+
+From a Python program, you can embed youtube-dl in a more powerful fashion, like this:
+
+    import youtube_dl
+
+    ydl_opts = {}
+    with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
+        ydl.download(['http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaW_jenozKc'])
+
+Most likely, you'll want to use various options. For a list of what can be done, have a look at [youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py#L69). For a start, if you want to intercept youtube-dl's output, set a `logger` object.

+Using the ``youtube_dl`` module
+===============================
+
+When using the ``youtube_dl`` module, you start by creating an instance of :class:`YoutubeDL` and adding all the available extractors:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    >>> from youtube_dl import YoutubeDL
+    >>> ydl = YoutubeDL()
+    >>> ydl.add_default_info_extractors()
+
+Extracting video information
+----------------------------
+
+You use the :meth:`YoutubeDL.extract_info` method for getting the video information, which returns a dictionary:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    >>> info = ydl.extract_info('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaW_jenozKc', download=False)
+    [youtube] Setting language
+    [youtube] BaW_jenozKc: Downloading webpage
+    [youtube] BaW_jenozKc: Downloading video info webpage
+    [youtube] BaW_jenozKc: Extracting video information
+    >>> info['title']
+    'youtube-dl test video "\'/\\ä↭𝕐'
+    >>> info['height'], info['width']
+    (720, 1280)
+
+If you want to download or play the video you can get its url:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    >>> info['url']
+    'https://...'
+
+Extracting playlist information
+-------------------------------
+
+The playlist information is extracted in a similar way, but the dictionary is a bit different:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    >>> playlist = ydl.extract_info('http://www.ted.com/playlists/13/open_source_open_world', download=False)
+    [TED] open_source_open_world: Downloading playlist webpage
+    ...
+    >>> playlist['title']
+    'Open-source, open world'
+
+
+
+You can access the videos in the playlist with the ``entries`` field:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    >>> for video in playlist['entries']:
+    ...     print('Video #%d: %s' % (video['playlist_index'], video['title']))
+
+    Video #1: How Arduino is open-sourcing imagination
+    Video #2: The year open data went worldwide
+    Video #3: Massive-scale online collaboration
+    Video #4: The art of asking
+    Video #5: How cognitive surplus will change the world
+    Video #6: The birth of Wikipedia
+    Video #7: Coding a better government

Students learn how to set up domain names with DNS, how to structure pages with XHTML and CSS, how to program in JavaScript and PHP, how to configure Apache and MySQL, how to design and query databases with SQL, how to use Ajax with both XML and JSON, and how to build mashups. The course explores issues of security, scalability, and cross-browser support and also discusses enterprise-level deployments of websites, including third-party hosting, virtualization, colocation in data centers, firewalling, and load-balancing.")
