Howdy, I download videos from youtube, recipes, howtos and such using youtube-dl. Anyway, I want to set it so that the highest resolution it will download is 720P. I just don't really need a 1920x1080 video showing me how to dump a can of veggies into a pot or how to repair something I'm working on. lol I've tried placing the config file in the following so far. Placing it in /etc/mpv/mpv.conf. Then I placed it in /home/dale/.config/mpv/mpv.conf. When that failed, I tested it as root, thought maybe it was permissions problem, and placed it in /root/.config/mpv/mpv.conf. When placing it in my /home directory, I did make sure it was set to dale and users for permissions.
I stuck the following into the file, in each location I tried. ytdl-format=bestvideo[height<=?720]+bestaudio/best >From my googling, that's what is shown is several places as being correct. What am I missing here? Does it look in a new place that I haven't found yet? Name changed? Something else? Anyone have a idea on where this goes and/or why this isn't working? Thanks much. Dale :-) :-)
