-embed-thumbnail - (Optionally) Embed the video thumbnail into the saved audio files as album art metadata (will be shown in media player applications).Youtube Downloader By URL - iLoader allows you to convert & download video from YouTube, Facebook, Video, Dailymotion, Youku, etc.If you do not pass this option, youtube-dl uses a default value of 5, often resulting in lower quality audio than you will get with a value of 0. The possible values here are 0-9 (you can also pass explicit bitrate such as 128K). -audio-quality 0 - Save audio with highest quality possible.-audio-format mp3 - Save the audio stream in mp3 format.-extract-audio - Extract the audio stream and discard the video.-prefer-ffmpeg - Tells youtube-dl to prefer ffmpeg (as opposed to avconv).

Youtube-dl -yes-playlist -ignore-errors -sleep-interval 30 -o '%(playlist)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s' "$1"įor this task, I use youtube-dl (w/ a dependency on ffmpeg) with the following options for best results. Youtube-dl -ignore-errors -sleep-interval 30 -i -f bestaudio -extract-audio -audio-format mp3 -audio-quality 0 -o '%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s' "$1" Youtube-dl -ignore-errors -f bestaudio -extract-audio -audio-format mp3 -audio-quality 0 -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s' "$1" This will also help make sure your IP doesn't get banned. It is really simple and also respects YouTube's flood or bot protection by having a 30 second interval between downloads. If I want to download a video as an mp3 I can do that, or download an entire playlist as mp3 I can use mp3p then the url to the playlist.

So for this example you would type ffmpeg -i _z-hEyVQDRA.flv -acodec libmp3lame MasterOfPuppets.mp3 Next you need to copy that file name and then put it in an ffmpg command like ffmpeg -i. What you should see is a flv file with the same name as the 'v' component of the youtube url you downloaded.Į.g if you downloaded then you should have a file called _z-hEyVQDRA.flv This will list all the flv files you have. Next have a look to make sure the flv file has downloaded from youtube by typing ls *flv Now install ffmpeg from the official repo. c Resume download of a video which was interrupted beforeįor complete list of switches execute man youtube-dl in terminal.
