- Can someone please post a simple guide on making yt-dlp work?
The old command that used to work in youtube-dl doesn't work in yt-dlp Since I hadn't done this before, I pointed him at the examples for yt-dlp format selection and suggested that maybe this command would work yt-dlp -f "bv+ba b" My suggestion didn't do what he needed So, to his credit, he figured out the answer, which is:

There's so many parameters for yt-dlp, what are your favorites? As in ones you wish you knew about earlier, ones you would have avoided, other cool params you use that are a must regardless of the website you use? Archived post New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast
- yt-dlp: When I try to download highest quality youtube video . . . - Reddit
yt-dlp -f "bv* [ext=mp4]+ba [ext=m4a] b [ext=mp4]" This works and gives me the result that I want (with the highest quality video and audio and saved in mp4 format) on my PC, but when I try to send it to myself and view it on my IPhone, the video will play, but I can only hear the audio and it is a still image of the first frame

Every time you invoke yt-dlp, it will be with those arguments (unless you use the --ignore-config option, then you can specify new args after that for one-time use scenarios) see yt-dlp --help for all available options You can specify all your output formats, metadata formats, output directory etc it's quite a flexible and powerful program
- yt-dlp file name variable : r bash - Reddit
And now since you have the video and audio names stored in variables, you can use them wherever with the -o option with yt-dlp, you can use ffmpeg with video, but not 100% sure about the audio Perhaps replace with the audio variable with the yt_name variable (for the -i option) and it would work?
- How to download a video using the best video and audio quality . . .
From the github: By default, yt-dlp tries to download the best available quality if you don't pass any options This is generally equivalent to using -f bestvideo*+bestaudio best However, if multiple audiostreams is enabled (--audio-multistreams), the default format changes to -f bestvideo+bestaudio best
