this isn’t perfect but i made one when i wanted to fetch a video for a specific resolution (because i prefer 480)
ytgrab() { local id="$1" local res="${2:-480}" # default to 480 local url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%24id" # fetch formats local fmt fmt=$(yt-dlp -F --cookies-from-browser vivaldi "$url") # printing the format output echo "$fmt" # pick video format matching the requested resolution local vfmt vfmt=$(echo "$fmt" | awk -v r="${res}p" '$0 ~ r && /video/ {print $1}' | head -n1) # pick best m4a audio local afmt afmt=$(echo "$fmt" | awk '/m4a/ && /audio/ {print $1}' | head -n1) # safety check if [ -z "$vfmt" ] || [ -z "$afmt" ]; then echo "Could not find matching formats (video ${res}p or m4a audio)." return 1 fi echo fetching: yt-dlp -f ${vfmt}+${afmt} --cookies-from-browser vivaldi --write-subs --no-write-auto-subs --sub-lang "en.*" $url yt-dlp -f "${vfmt}+${afmt}" --write-subs --cookies-from-browser vivaldi --no-write-auto-subs --sub-lang "en.*" "$url" }Just curious, but why 480?
usually i just like older videos but in this case i was saving a bunch of wcw vault videos to my jellyfin library and i prefer 480 since it was as close to tv as can be (also i’ve never been a fan of hd and tv after 2000 because i felt that’s when it went downhill)
