Please run again with -v, such as: $ youtube-dl -v https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byTOZIvyXPo and then check at the top for the lines: [debug] System config: [] [debug] User config: [ .. THIS IS WHAT I'M INTERESTED IN .. ] [debug] Custom config: [] [debug] Command-line args: [u'-v', u'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzPxJK4drcc'] [..] [debug] youtube-dl version 2020.09.20 and mail them here ... One should see there how yt-dl parses your config and hopefully what goes wrong with it. HTH, -dnh -- Thou shalt not droppeth thy leatherman onto live motherboards. -- Andreas "Buzh" Skau
