Does this support all options of youtube-dl shell command?

I need -g and -F option for youtube-dl.

Many thanks for your project. :)

There's (probably) no need for them. Getting the url (-g) is really easy, it's the url field of the the video dictionary. For -F, see for example http://youtube-dl.appspot.com/api/?url=http://vimeo.com/68122855 and look into the formats field. I think that's all you need. If you have any question, just ask.

Thanks jaimeMF for your kind explanation!

Seems only have one format for YouTube. Is it correct?

Yes, the extraction of youtube videos use another system for the formats (old and quite ugly). Once it's changed in youtube-dl to use the new system (hopefully I'll find some time to do it), it will work as the vimeo videos and others. By the way, you won't be able to download the youtube videos unless you run the server on the same network where you download it.
