Do embedded movies get downloaded? #171

Closed humanitiesclinic closed 4 years ago

humanitiesclinic commented 5 years ago

I have some posts where Instagram and youtube movies are embedded in the original, but they are not downloaded. Is it possible with the current version of the script to do so? If yes, what command line option should I use?

Use --save-video. You'll need the youtube_dl package for Python 2. You can install it by running python -m pip install youtube_dl in a command prompt. For future reference, you can run most console programs with --help (the Unix-y way) or /? (the DOS-y way) in order to see the flags they will accept.
