Whats do you use in your yt-dlp config for the best downloads?
I formatted my PC recently and I’m reinstalling some stuff I forgot to make a backup of settings like yt-dlp so I started searching for what is a good config to download the best mp4 quality and found some interesting setups so I figured I’d make a thread for people to share what they use.
Here’s the most best setup I found so far which downloads a 1080p mp4 with the filename and includes metadata, english subtitles, and chapters if available: yt-dlp -f ‘bestvideo[height<=1080][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best’ -S vcodec:h264 --windows-filenames --restrict-filenames --write-auto-subs --sub-lang “en.*” --embed-subs --add-metadata --add-chapters --no-playlist -N 4 -ci --verbose --remux-video “mp4/mkv” URL
Ideally it would also mark the sponserblock section and download to a specified folder
