-h, --help print this help text and exit
--version print program version and exit
-U, --update update this program to latest version. Make
sure that you have sufficient permissions
(run with sudo if needed)
-i, --ignore-errors continue on download errors, for example to
skip unavailable videos in a playlist
--abort-on-error Abort downloading of further videos (in the
playlist or the command line) if an error

--dump-user-agent display the current browser identification
--list-extractors List all supported extractors and the URLs
they would handle
--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

## 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
-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
