FAQ

How do I update youtube-dl?

youtube-dl is extremely slow to start on Windows

I'm getting an error `Unable to extract OpenGraph title` on YouTube playlists

I'm getting an error when trying to use output template: `error: using output template conflicts with using title, video ID or auto number`

Do I always have to pass `-citw`?

Can you please put the `-b` option back?

I get HTTP error 402 when trying to download a video. What's this?

Do I need any other programs?

I have downloaded a video but how can I play it?

I extracted a video URL with `-g`, but it does not play on another machine / in my web browser.

ERROR: no fmt_url_map or conn information found in video info

ERROR: unable to download video

Video URL contains an ampersand and I'm getting some strange output `[1] 2839` or `'v' is not recognized as an internal or external command`

...some lines of code...

formerly:

video = try_get(response, lambda x: x['result']['video'][0], dict) or {}
