Re: How to choose the video version when I use youtube-dl to grab from BBC?


good you solved your problem
i put here to help others with same problem

How to choose a certain video version (not just best)

type this to get the formats

Code:
youtube-dl -F http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06h7gj1/strictly-come-dancing-series-13-week-2


Code:
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_lo_akamai       flv     640x360    h264@ 480k, 461
.33MiB
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_lo_limelight     flv       640x360    h264@ 480k, 461
.33MiB
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_akamai           flv      640x360    h264@ 796k, 718
.23MiB
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_limelight         flv        640x360    h264@ 796k, 718

iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_high_akamai   flv    832x468    h264@1500k, 1.3
1GiB
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_high_limelight  flv     832x468    h264@1500k, 1.3
1GiB (best)
now pick a format

iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_limelight flv 640x360 h264@ 796k, 718

we just need the bit in red

now write it like this


Code:
youtube-dl -f iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_limelight "http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06h7gj1/strictly-come-dancing-series-13-week-2" -o C:\out.flv
