Subject of the issue

Is it possible to select the video quality to be downloaded?

I've tried passing arguments to --youtube-dl-options, but haven't had any success choosing the video resolution to be downloaded.

Try

edx-dl -u username URL --youtube-dl-options="-f 22"

Note the = after --youtube-dl-options and before passing the actual options string.

Thanks. It really was just that simple.

The usage info that is printed to the console should be corrected.
