Some old videos that aren't on Vimeo are being uploaded to YouTube under the
'Gamekings Vault' channel. They use YouTube now for some videos as video
hosting instead of Vimeo or their own hosting. The first test failed to
succeed under the existing code, but works now by using the YouTube
extractor.
The Regex is changed to find the new gogoVideo JavaScript line with the
YouTube embed. Checking if there is a YouTube embed is done by a String
find, which is probably not the best method of checking this.
When using the mpegts container hls vidoes can be played while being downloaded (useful if you are recording a live stream).
VLC and mpv play them file, but QuickTime doesn't.

The rsa_verify code was vulnerable to a BB'06 attack, allowing to forge
signatures for arbitrary messages if and only if the public key exponent is
3. Since the updates key is hardcoded to 65537, there is no risk for
youtube-dl, but I don't want vulnerable code in the wild.
The new function adopts a way safer approach of encoding-and-comparing to
replace the dangerous parsing code.
"current" is now "video"
"hls_stream" is now hls_stream without quotes
video_id is now id
duration for current video is not present(for other videos it is)
modified regex to find hls_stream variable to work reguardless of whether it is quoted or not.
[ora] Improve (Closes#8273)
If someone is running youtube-dl on a server to deliver files, the user could input 'file:///some/important/file' and youtube-dl would save that file as a video giving access to sensitive information to the user.
'file:' urls can be filtered, but the user can use an URL to a crafted m3u8 manifest like:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:10.0
file:///etc/passwd
#EXT-X-ENDLIST
With this patch 'file:' URLs raise URLError like for unknown protocols.
In RFC6381, there's no rule stating that the first part of codecs should
be video and the second part should be audio, while it seems the case
for data reported by YouTube.
In some dailymotion videos (like http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3k0dtv from #8156) the segments URLs don't have the 'Content-Length' header and HttpFD sets the 'totat_bytes' field to None, so we also use '0' in that case (since we do different math operations with it).
Add an IE to support bigflix.com. It uses some sort of silverlight
plugin whose video url is being populated using base64 encoded
flashvars. So it is quite straightforward to extract.
"This check should take place earlier and should be more general if not video_url:. Same should be done for video_play_path. Also these fields better extracted with xpath_text."
Suggestions by @dstftw
If you run 'while read aurl ; do youtube-dl "${aurl}"; done < path_to_batch_file' (batch_file contains one url per line that uses the hls downloader) each call to youtube-dl consumed some characters and 'read' would assing to 'aurl' a non valid url
(This is the same problem that was fixed for the ffmpeg postprocessors in cffcbc02de)
Should make downloading with filters more precise and easier, ie. bestvideo[vcodec=h264]. By default a lot of codecs are specified as avc1.xxxxxx and unique for each format, which makes them unusable for bestvideo selection.

This is actually not a compatibility routine but rather a workaround for URLs without protocol specified.
The protocol-less URL is treated as HTTP one since it's most probable scenario and it will most likely to
redirect to HTTPS if HTTPS was actually expected. This routine could also be useful for any Request
preprocessing that may be added in future.

Now the semantic of this function is identical to
shutil.get_terminal_size() in Python 3.3+. The new behavior also
corresponds to the old get_term_width(), which is removed in
003c69a84b
Previously, when we encountered a 404 - such as youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/ohJeiboh8oorehai - we crashed with a regexp error. Instead, make sure to go on and eventually report a 404.
60fps DASH formats do not appear in the DASH manifest, but the non-DASH
video info page does contain additional parameters for DASH formats that
we can parse.
Use those when they exist.
This fixes "bestvideo" not selecting 60fps formats over similar 30fps
formats just because the file size is unknown.

This is according to how youtube handles multiple v= values in one URL.
Before this, it was possible to make a single URL show up differently
on youtube itself, and if you downloaded/viewed it with youtube-dl/mpv
PornHub seems to have subtly changed their JavaScript. Before, video URL strings were embedded directly in the video's `flashvars_*` object, but they are now assigned to variables of the form `player_quality_*`, which are then added to this object later under the relevant quality key.
For a couple of days now rtlXL's non-DRM adaptive (m3u8) streams don't work anymore. By undoing the adaptive -> flash workaround youtube-dl returns the DRM streams again. Too bad for foreigners (geoblock).
The progressive streams still work fine.
Many videos are given the title 'Full Episode' or 'Episode x', etc;
in the info json 'title' is the episode title (for oneshots this is
'Full Episode') while the program name is 'program':{'title'. This
changes the title from '(episode title)' to
'(program name) - (episode title)'
The following urls demonstrate useless titles

I found that currently only tagesschau videos are played. There are some
more shows hosted on tagesschau.de (see [0] for example) which are
easily playable by adjusting the regex. So this patch adds support for:
* tagesthemen
* tagesschau vor 20 Jahren
* tagesschau (mit Gebärdensprache)
* nachtmagazin
Note that some videos don't provide a description, so in order for the
tests to succeed, an ExtractorError needs to get caught.
[0]: http://www.tagesschau.de/multimedia/video/videoarchiv2~_date-20150714.html
* required unquote_to_bytes function ported as well
(uses .decode('hex') instead of dynamically populated _hextobyte global)
* required implicit conversion to bytes and/or unicode in places due to
differing type assumptions in p3
of the entire page in python 2.
-requires- fixed compat_urllib_parse_unquote
example - the following will save with a mangled playlist title,
instead of the kanji for 'tsunami'. This affects all utf8encoded
urls as well
youtube-dl -f18 -o '%(playlist_title)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s' \
61c14c1e3a/tsunami.html
When using 'bestvideo/best,bestaudio', 'bestvideo/best' must be set as the current_selector (instead of appending it to the selectors), otherwise when it gets the ',' it would append 'None' to the selectors.
'bestvideo+bestaudio/best' was incorrectly interpreted as 'bestvideo+(bestaudio/best)', so it would fail if 'bestaudio' doesn't exist instead of falling back to 'best'.
Better to extract 'http://manifest.us.rtl.nl' from the json, I'd say. And I think it's better to use the default json-url to make it more futureproof.
Succesfully tested with tarball.
The spec string is processed using 'tokenize.tokenize' to split it in words and operators, the filters are still processed using regular expressions.
This should make easier to allow grouping operators with parens.
DASH manifest pointed by dashmpd from the video webpage and one pointed by get_video_info may
be different (namely different itag set) - some itags are missing from DASH manifest pointed by
webpage's dashmpd, some - from DASH manifest pointed by get_video_info's dashmpd).
The general idea is to take a union of itags of both DASH manifests (for example video with such
'manifest behavior' see https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/6093).
For some extractors that are hard to workout a good _VALID_URL we use very vague and unrestrictive ones,
e.g. just allowing anything after hostname and capturing part of URL as id.
If some of these extractors happen to have an video embed of some different hoster or platform
and this scenario was not handled in extractor itself we end up with inability to download this embed
until extractor is fixed to support embed of this kind.
Forcing downloader to use the generic extractor can be a neat temporary solution for this problem.
Example: FiveTV extractor with Tvigle embed - http://www.5-tv.ru/rabota/broadcasts/48/
As the "LG Time Machine" (a (not so) smart TV) has a limitation for video dimensions (as for codecs), I take to implement an extra parameter `--pp-params` where we can send extra parameterization for the video converter (post-processor).
Example:
```
$ youtube-dl --recode-video=xvid --pp-params='-s 720x480' -c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE7Qoe2ZiXE
```
That works fine on a 4yo LG Time Machine.
Closes#5733
This is a workaround. Currently YoutubeDL.process_info() truncates
info_dict['title'] to 200 characters, but the implementation can't
handle wide characters.
Discovery.com now uses a completely different approach for serving
videos. At least in both test cases brightcove are involved. However,
AMF support is necessary for these brightcove videos. As a result, I
try to extract videos from the info page ('?flat=1'). The downloaded
file can be different from the one in browsers.
This fixes jumping from user/channel -> playlist for some users like
https://www.youtube.com/user/BitcoinFoundation
This also removes the superfluous log message
"add --no-playlist to just download video VIDEOID"
when downloading a user/channel.
Since we use fixed values for some fields like width and height they can be wrong, and would get picked by some formats filters.
For example for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQCrhbBxsjA the biggest height is 720 and for nondash formats it's set to 1440, so -f 'bestvideo[height>=1200]+bestaudio' would incorrectly pick the nondash format, instead it should report that the requested format is not available.
After installing youtube-dl with this method
sudo wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+xr /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
When i try to use it, i get this error
python: can't open file '/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl': [Errno 13] Permission denied
The correct chmod is a+xr
Idea: "puncture" some consecutive fragments and check whether the
b64decode result of a punctured string is a valid JSON or not.
It's a O(N^3) algorithm, but should be fast for a small N (less than 30
fragments in all test cases)
The condition for assigning to json_url is the wrong way round:
currently for url: aaa.com/xxx
we get:
aaa.com/xxx&output=json
instead of the correct value:
aaa.com/xxx?output=json
Otherwise it's impossible to only download non-DASH formats, for example `best[height=?480]/best` would download a DASH video if it's the only one with height=480, instead for falling back to the second format specifier.
For audio only urls (soundcloud, bandcamp ...), the best audio will be downloaded as before.
It doesn't work well with 'bestvideo' and 'bestaudio' because they are usually before the max quality.
Format filters should be used instead, they are more flexible and don't require the requested quality to exist for each video.
Without the '--keep-video' option the two files would be downloaded again and even using the option, ffmpeg would be run again, which for some videos can take a long time.
We use a temporary file with ffmpeg so that the final file only exists if it success
line 116, modify 'Downloding' to 'Downloading'.
It looks like nothing, but it is very annoying when youtube-dl command's output is parsed to find progress on a php (or other language) website for example.
Since keep_video started as None we always set it to keep_video_wish unless it was None, so in the end keep_video == keep_video_wish. This should have been changed in f3ff1a3696, but I didn't notice it.
On the tracks I tested the server number in the url from the webpage is valid
for the mp3 or the m4a file and any other number is invalid, it's a
waste of time to check them.
In Python 3, filter() returns an iterable object, which is equivalently
to True even for an empty result set. It causes false positive playlists
in generic extraction logic.
Fix for Json syntax is now less error prone for Json syntax inside of
values. Extractor is now also using native Json handling. Added tests
for several videos that were producing errors in the first place.
1) added comment to explain extra xml link download
2) changed {} entries to {0}, {1} etc

--extractor-descriptions Output descriptions of all supported extractors
--default-search PREFIX Use this prefix for unqualified URLs. For example "gvsearch2:" downloads two videos from google videos for youtube-dl "large apple".
Use the value "auto" to let youtube-dl guess ("auto_warning" to emit a warning when guessing). "error" just throws an error. The
default value "fixup_error" repairs broken URLs, but emits an error if this is not possible instead of searching.
--ignore-config Do not read configuration files. When given in the global configuration file /etc/youtube-dl.conf: Do not read the user configuration
in ~/.config/youtube-dl/config (%APPDATA%/youtube-dl/config.txt on Windows)
--flat-playlistDo not extract the videos of a playlist, only list them.

## Video Format Options:
-f, --format FORMAT video format code, specify the order of preference using slashes, as in -f 22/17/18 . Instead of format codes, you can select by
extension for the extensions aac, m4a, mp3, mp4, ogg, wav, webm. You can also use the special names "best", "bestvideo", "bestaudio",
"worst". You can filter the video results by putting a condition in brackets, as in -f "best[height=720]" (or -f "[filesize>10M]").
This works for filesize, height, width, tbr, abr, vbr, asr, and fps and the comparisons <, <=, >, >=, =, != and for ext, acodec,
vcodec, container, and protocol and the comparisons =, != . Formats for which the value is not known are excluded unless you put a
question mark (?) after the operator. You can combine format filters, so -f "[height <=? 720][tbr>500]" selects up to 720p videos
(or videos where the height is not known) with a bitrate of at least 500 KBit/s. By default, youtube-dl will pick the best quality.
Use commas to download multiple audio formats, such as -f 136/137/mp4/bestvideo,140/m4a/bestaudio. You can merge the video and audio
of two formats into a single file using -f <video-format>+<audio-format> (requires ffmpeg or avconv), for example -f
bestvideo+bestaudio.

You can configure youtube-dl by placing any supported command line option to a configuration file. On Linux, the system wide configuration file is located at `/etc/youtube-dl.conf` and the user wide configuration file at`~/.config/youtube-dl/config`. On Windows, the user wide configuration file locations are `%APPDATA%\youtube-dl\config.txt`or`C:\Users\<user name>\youtube-dl.conf`. For example, with the following configuration file youtube-dl will always extract the audio, not copy the mtime and use a proxy:
```
--extract-audio
--no-mtime
--proxy 127.0.0.1:3128
```
You can use `--ignore-config` if you want to disable the configuration file for a particular youtube-dl run.
### Authentication with `.netrc` file
You may also want to configure automatic credentials storage for extractors that support authentication (by providing login and password with `--username` and `--password`) in order not to pass credentials as command line arguments on every youtube-dl execution and prevent tracking plain text passwords in the shell command history. You can achieve this using a [`.netrc` file](http://stackoverflow.com/tags/.netrc/info) on per extractor basis. For that you will need to create a`.netrc` file in your `$HOME` and restrict permissions to read/write by you only:
```
touch $HOME/.netrc
chmod a-rwx,u+rw $HOME/.netrc
```
After that you can add credentials for extractor in the following format, where *extractor* is the name of extractor in lowercase:
To activate authentication with the `.netrc` file you should pass `--netrc` to youtube-dl or place it in the [configuration file](#configuration).
On Windows you may also need to setup the `%HOME%` environment variable manually.
# OUTPUT TEMPLATE
The `-o` option allows users to indicate a template for the output file names. 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"`. However, it may contain special sequences that will be replaced when downloading each video. The special sequences have the format `%(NAME)s`. To clarify, that is a percent symbol followed by a name in parenthesis, followed by a lowercase S. Allowed names are:

By default youtube-dl tries to download the best available quality, i.e. if you want the best quality you **don't need** to pass any special options, youtube-dl will guess it for you by **default**.
But sometimes you may want to download in a different format, for example when you are on a slow or intermittent connection. The key mechanism for achieving this is so called *format selection* based on which you can explicitly specify desired format, select formats based on some criterion or criteria, setup precedence and much more.
The general syntax for format selection is `--format FORMAT` or shorter `-f FORMAT` where `FORMAT` is a *selector expression*, i.e. an expression that describes format or formats you would like to download.
The simplest case is requesting a specific format, for example with `-f 22` you can download the format with format code equal to 22. You can get the list of available format codes for particular video using `--list-formats` or `-F`. Note that these format codes are extractor specific.
You can also use a file extension (currently `3gp`, `aac`, `flv`, `m4a`, `mp3`, `mp4`, `ogg`, `wav`, `webm` are supported) to download best quality format of particular file extension served as a single file, e.g. `-f webm` will download best quality format with `webm` extension served as a single file.
You can also use special names to select particular edge case format:
-`best`: Select best quality format represented by single file with video and audio
-`worst`: Select worst quality format represented by single file with video and audio
-`bestvideo`: Select best quality video only format (e.g. DASH video), may not be available
-`worstvideo`: Select worst quality video only format, may not be available
-`bestaudio`: Select best quality audio only format, may not be available
-`worstaudio`: Select worst quality audio only format, may not be available
For example, to download worst quality video only format you can use `-f worstvideo`.
If you want to download multiple videos and they don't have the same formats available, you can specify the order of preference using slashes. Note that slash is left-associative, i.e. formats on the left hand side are preferred, for example `-f 22/17/18` will download format 22 if it's available, otherwise it will download format 17 if it's available, otherwise it will download format 18 if it's available, otherwise it will complain that no suitable formats are available for download.
If you want to download several formats of the same video use comma as a separator, e.g. `-f 22,17,18` will download all these three formats, of course if they are available. Or more sophisticated example combined with precedence feature `-f 136/137/mp4/bestvideo,140/m4a/bestaudio`.
You can also filter the video formats by putting a condition in brackets, as in `-f "best[height=720]"` (or `-f "[filesize>10M]"`).
The following numeric meta fields can be used with comparisons `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `=` (equals), `!=` (not equals):
-`filesize`: The number of bytes, if known in advance
-`width`: Width of the video, if known
-`height`: Height of the video, if known
-`tbr`: Average bitrate of audio and video in KBit/s
-`abr`: Average audio bitrate in KBit/s
-`vbr`: Average video bitrate in KBit/s
-`asr`: Audio sampling rate in Hertz
-`fps`: Frame rate
Also filtering work for comparisons `=` (equals), `!=` (not equals), `^=` (begins with), `$=` (ends with), `*=` (contains) and following string meta fields:
-`ext`: File extension
-`acodec`: Name of the audio codec in use
-`vcodec`: Name of the video codec in use
-`container`: Name of the container format
-`protocol`: The protocol that will be used for the actual download, lower-case. `http`, `https`, `rtsp`, `rtmp`, `rtmpe`, `m3u8`, or `m3u8_native`
Note that none of the aforementioned meta fields are guaranteed to be present since this solely depends on the metadata obtained by particular extractor, i.e. the metadata offered by video hoster.
Formats for which the value is not known are excluded unless you put a question mark (`?`) after the operator. You can combine format filters, so `-f "[height <=? 720][tbr>500]"` selects up to 720p videos (or videos where the height is not known) with a bitrate of at least 500 KBit/s.
You can merge the video and audio of two formats into a single file using `-f <video-format>+<audio-format>` (requires ffmpeg or avconv installed), for example `-f bestvideo+bestaudio` will download best video only format, best audio only format and mux them together with ffmpeg/avconv.
Format selectors can also be grouped using parentheses, for example if you want to download the best mp4 and webm formats with a height lower than 480 you can use `-f '(mp4,webm)[height<480]'`.
Since the end of April 2015 and version 2015.04.26 youtube-dl uses `-f bestvideo+bestaudio/best` as default format selection (see #5447, #5456). If ffmpeg or avconv are installed this results in downloading `bestvideo` and `bestaudio` separately and muxing them together into a single file giving the best overall quality available. Otherwise it falls back to `best` and results in downloading the best available quality served as a single file. `best` is also needed for videos that don't come from YouTube because they don't provide the audio and video in two different files. If you want to only download some DASH formats (for example if you are not interested in getting videos with a resolution higher than 1080p), you can add `-f bestvideo[height<=?1080]+bestaudio/best` to your configuration file. Note that if you use youtube-dl to stream to `stdout` (and most likely to pipe it to your media player then), i.e. you explicitly specify output template as `-o -`, youtube-dl still uses `-f best` format selection in order to start content delivery immediately to your player and not to wait until `bestvideo` and `bestaudio` are downloaded and muxed.
If you want to preserve the old format selection behavior (prior to youtube-dl 2015.04.26), i.e. you want to download the best available quality media served as a single file, you should explicitly specify your choice with `-f best`. You may want to add it to the [configuration file](#configuration) in order not to type it every time you run youtube-dl.

Apparently YouTube requires you to pass a CAPTCHA test if you download too much. We'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.
### Do I need any other programs?
youtube-dl works fine on its own on most sites. However, if you want to convert video/audio, you'll need [avconv](https://libav.org/) or [ffmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/). On some sites - most notably YouTube - videos can be retrieved in a higher quality format without sound. youtube-dl will detect whether avconv/ffmpeg is present and automatically pick the best option.
Videos or video formats streamed via RTMP protocol can only be downloaded when [rtmpdump](https://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/) is installed. Downloading MMS and RTSP videos requires either [mplayer](http://mplayerhq.hu/) or [mpv](https://mpv.io/) to be installed.

Once the video is fully downloaded, use any video player, such as [vlc](http://www.videolan.org) or [mplayer](http://www.mplayerhq.hu/).
### I extracted a video URL with -g, but it does not play on another machine / in my webbrowser.
### I extracted a video URL with `-g`, but it does not play on another machine / in my webbrowser.
It depends a lot on the service. In many cases, requests for the video (to download/play it) must come from the same IP address and with the same cookies. Use the `--cookies` 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 `--dump-user-agent` to see the one in use by youtube-dl.
It may be beneficial to use IPv6; in some cases, the restrictions are only applied to IPv4. Some services (sometimes only for a subset of videos) do not restrict the video URL by IP address, cookie, or user-agent, but these are the exception rather than the rule.
Please bear in mind that some URL protocols are **not** supported by browsers out of the box, including RTMP. If you are using -g, your own downloader must support these as well.

To disable your shell from interpreting the ampersands (or any other special characters) you have to either put the whole URL in quotes or escape them with a backslash (which approach will work depends on your shell).
