Youtube-dl multiple videos download from a file.

yt-dlp.exe -a file.txt

Subtitile & Video Resolution:

yt-dlp --list-subs --cookies youtube_cookie.txt URL

yt-dlp --write-auto-sub --sub-format srt --sub-lang en --skip-download --cookies youtube_cookie.txt URL


To select the video quality, first use the -F option to list the available formats, here’s an example,

youtube-dl -F URL

The best quality is 22 so use -f 22 instead of -F to download the MP4 video with 1280x720 resolution like this:

youtube-dl -f 22 URL

Worked. But...
You have to be member of the channel.
Use one of the add-ons to extract the cookies from the browser:
#https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-cookiestxt/bgaddhkoddajcdgocldbbfleckgcbcid
#https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookies-txt/

Then use the command to execute the task. The main problem that I see is the download speed. It is really slow. I'm using a 100Mbps internet connection speed and still takes 00:05:56 to download 169.91MiB

use yt-dlp instead it's faster than youtube-dl

why this error appears??
