Options in YouTube decoder node

Post by Soffort »

Hello, Steinar.

Right now FFAStrans on one of my servers can't download videos from one of youtube-dl supported sites.
When I trying run youtube-dl from cmd on this server, found error about certificate check. This problem only on one server and I'll try to resolve it with our system administrators. But youtube-dl key "--no-check-certificate" could solve the problem much more faster!

So, if you can, please add some options for YouTube node for customizing youtube-dl options:
  • Do not check certificate (--no-check-certificate)
  • Use insecure connection (--prefer-insecure)
  • Preferred format (-f <best, worst, bestvideo, worstvideo, bestaudio, worstaudio>)
  • Download all formats (--all-formats)
  • Change User-Agent (--user-agent UA)
  • Authentication (--username USERNAME, --password PASSWORD)
One more thing. Sometimes, youtube-dl download file with filename "WARNING_ unable to extract uploader nickname". Is it possible in this situation rename it automatically to original url filename? Maybe as optional checkbox too. It's much more useful, than creating large workflow with heavy logic about checking filenames and renaming it (but I do it, yes :) ).

Thank you Suffort for your constructive feedback! :-)

I will certainly implement a few of these options.
