@ -35,11 +35,6 @@ Another gotcha is that youtube-dl's -o option does not fully determine the
filename it downloads to. Sometims it will tack on an additional extension
(seen with youtube videos where it added a ".mkv").
And --get-filename does not report the actual filename when that happens.
Only way I can find to avoid this wart is output to stdout with "-o -",
but that would prevent resuming. Seems it would have to be run in a temp
dir and the file moved out to the git-annex location when done, which would
prevent stuff that operates on incomplete downloads from working.
If the download is run in a temp directory anyway, could use -o to
make the filenames start with the playlist number, and support downloading
playlists, with the playlist item number encoded in the recorded url.
This seems to be due to format merging by ffmpeg; with -f best, it does
not merge and so does not do that.
