<h1>youtube-dl: Download videos from YouTube.com</h1> |
|||
|
|||
<p class="smallnote">(and more...)</p> |
|||
|
|||
<h2>What is it?</h2> |
|||
|
|||
<p><em>youtube-dl</em> is a small command-line program to download videos |
|||
from YouTube.com. It requires the <a href="http://www.python.org/">Python |
|||
interpreter</a>, version 2.4 or later, and it's not platform specific. |
|||
It should work in your Unix box, in Windows or in Mac OS X. The latest version |
|||
is <strong>@PROGRAM_VERSION@</strong>. It's released to the public domain, |
|||
which means you can modify it, redistribute it or use it however you like.</p> |
|||
|
|||
<p>I'll try to keep it updated if YouTube.com changes the way you access |
|||
their videos. After all, it's a simple and short program. However, I can't |
|||
guarantee anything. If you detect it stops working, check for new versions |
|||
and/or inform me about the problem, indicating the program version you |
|||
are using. If the program stops working and I can't solve the problem but |
|||
you have a solution, I'd like to know it. If that happens and you feel you |
|||
can maintain the program yourself, tell me. My contact information is |
|||
at <a href="http://freshmeat.net/~rg3/">freshmeat.net</a>.</p> |
|||
|
|||
<p>Thanks for all the feedback received so far. I'm glad people find my |
|||
program useful.</p> |
|||
|
|||
<h2>Usage instructions</h2> |
|||
|
|||
<p>In Windows, once you have installed the Python interpreter, save the |
|||
program with the <em>.py</em> extension and put it somewhere in the PATH. |
|||
Try to follow the |
|||
<a href="http://rg03.wordpress.com/youtube-dl-under-windows-xp/">guide to |
|||
install youtube-dl under Windows XP</a>.</p> |
|||
|
|||
<p>In Unix, download it, give it execution permission and copy it to one |
|||
of the PATH directories (typically, <em>/usr/local/bin</em>).</p> |
|||
|
|||
<p>After that, you should be able to call it from the command line as |
|||
<em>youtube-dl</em> or <em>youtube-dl.py</em>. I will use <em>youtube-dl</em> |
|||
in the following examples. Usage instructions are easy. Use <em>youtube-dl</em> |
|||
followed by a video URL or identifier. Example: <em>youtube-dl |
|||
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar"</em>. The video will be saved |
|||
to the file <em>foobar.flv</em> in that example. As YouTube.com |
|||
videos are in Flash Video format, their extension should be <em>flv</em>. |
|||
In Linux and other unices, video players using a recent version of |
|||
<em>ffmpeg</em> can play them. That includes MPlayer, VLC, etc. Those two |
|||
work under Windows and other platforms, but you could also get a |
|||
specific FLV player of your taste.</p> |
|||
|
|||
<p>If you try to run the program and you receive an error message containing the |
|||
keyword <em>SyntaxError</em> near the end, it means your Python interpreter |
|||
is too old.</p> |
|||
|
|||
<h2>More usage tips</h2> |
|||
|
|||
<ul> |
|||
|
|||
<li>You can change the file name of the video using the -o option, like in |
|||
<em>youtube-dl -o vid.flv "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar"</em>. |
|||
Read the <a href="#otpl">Output template</a> section for more details on |
|||
this.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>Some videos require an account to be downloaded, mostly because they're |
|||
flagged as mature content. You can pass the program a username and password |
|||
for a YouTube.com account with the -u and -p options, like <em>youtube-dl |
|||
-u myusername -p mypassword "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar"</em>.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>The account data can also be read from the user .netrc file by indicating |
|||
the -n or --netrc option. The machine name is <em>youtube</em> in that |
|||
case.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>The <em>simulate mode</em> (activated with -s or --simulate) can be used |
|||
to just get the real video URL and use it with a download manager if you |
|||
prefer that option.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>The <em>quiet mode</em> (activated with -q or --quiet) can be used to |
|||
supress all output messages. This allows, in systems featuring /dev/stdout |
|||
and other similar special files, outputting the video data to standard output |
|||
in order to pipe it to another program without interferences.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>The program can be told to simply print the final video URL to standard |
|||
output using the -g or --get-url option.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>In a similar line, the -e or --get-title option tells the program to print |
|||
the video title.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>The default filename is <em>video_id.flv</em>. But you can also use the |
|||
video title in the filename with the -t or --title option, or preserve the |
|||
literal title in the filename with the -l or --literal option.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>You can make the program append <em>&fmt=something</em> to the URL |
|||
by using the -f or --format option. This makes it possible to download high |
|||
quality versions of the videos when available.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>The -b or --best-quality option is an alias for -f 18.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>The -m or --mobile-version option is an alias for -f 17.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>Normally, the program will stop on the first error, but you can tell it |
|||
to attempt to download every video with the -i or --ignore-errors option.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>The -a or --batch-file option lets you specify a file to read URLs from. |
|||
The file must contain one URL per line.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>The program can be told not to overwrite existing files using the -w or |
|||
--no-overwrites option.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>For YouTube, you can also use the URL of a playlist, and it will download |
|||
all the videos in that playlist.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>For YouTube, you can also use the special word <em>ytsearch</em> to |
|||
download search results. With <em>ytsearch</em> it will download the |
|||
first search result. With <em>ytsearchN</em>, where N is a number, it |
|||
will download the first N results. With <em>ytsearchall</em> it will |
|||
download every result for that search. In most systems you'll need to |
|||
use quotes for multiple words. Example: <em>youtube-dl "ytsearch3:cute |
|||
kittens"</em>. |
|||
|
|||
<li><em>youtube-dl</em> honors the <em>http_proxy</em> environment variable |
|||
if you want to use a proxy. Set it to something like |
|||
<em>http://proxy.example.com:8080</em>, and do not leave the <em>http://</em> |
|||
prefix out.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>You can get the program version by calling it as <em>youtube-dl |
|||
-v</em> or <em>youtube-dl --version</em>.</li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>For usage instructions, use <em>youtube-dl -h</em> or <em>youtube-dl |
|||
--help.</em></li> |
|||
|
|||
<li>You can cancel the program at any time pressing Ctrl+C. It may print |
|||
some error lines saying something about <em>KeyboardInterrupt</em>. |
|||
That's ok.</li> |
|||
|
|||
</ul> |
|||
|
|||
<h2>Download it</h2> |
|||
|
|||
<p>Note that if you directly click on these hyperlinks, your web browser will |
|||
most likely display the program contents. It's usually better to |
|||
right-click on it and choose the appropriate option, normally called <em>Save |
|||
Target As</em> or <em>Save Link As</em>, depending on the web browser you |
|||
are using.</p> |
|||
|
|||
<p><a href="youtube-dl">@PROGRAM_VERSION@</a></p> |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li><strong>MD5</strong>: @PROGRAM_MD5SUM@</li> |
|||
<li><strong>SHA1</strong>: @PROGRAM_SHA1SUM@</li> |
|||
<li><strong>SHA256</strong>: @PROGRAM_SHA256SUM@</li> |
|||
</ul> |
|||
|
|||
<h2 id="otpl">Output template</h2> |
|||
|
|||
<p>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 <em>youtube-dl -o funny_video.flv 'http://some/video'</em>. |
|||
However, it may contain special sequences that will be replaced when |
|||
downloading each video. The special sequences have the format |
|||
<strong>%(NAME)s</strong>. To clarify, that's a percent symbol followed by a |
|||
name in parenthesis, followed by a lowercase S. Allowed names are:</p> |
|||
|
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li><em>id</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the video identifier.</li> |
|||
<li><em>url</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the video URL.</li> |
|||
<li><em>uploader</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the nickname of the |
|||
person who uploaded the video.</li> |
|||
<li><em>title</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the literal video |
|||
title.</li> |
|||
<li><em>stitle</em>: The sequence will be replaced by a simplified video |
|||
title, restricted to alphanumeric characters and dashes.</li> |
|||
<li><em>ext</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the appropriate |
|||
extension (like <em>flv</em> or <em>mp4</em>).</li> |
|||
</ul> |
|||
|
|||
<p>As you may have guessed, the default template is <em>%(id)s.%(ext)s</em>. |
|||
When some command line options are used, it's replaced by other templates like |
|||
<em>%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s</em>. You can specify your own.</p> |
