how to filter keywords with "Get List Options"?

[R8s6]

Hi,

Is there a way to filter the list?

In Get List Options, I tried --cookies-from-browser chromium --match-filter "title!=keyword", (also tried title=keyword) and I had an "invalid filter part" error:

ERROR: Invalid filter part '"title=keyword"'

Thanks!

P.S. I'm using the Linux git version (Arch linux)

What are you trying to do?

for example, let's say, out of 1000 videos in the playlist, there are 200 that have the keyword "money", then i want to download the other 800 videos that don't have "money" in the titles. how to achieve this? Thanks!

Its not possible with the latest released version because of a bug i just fixed.

Update from git first and then add the following:-

1. --match-filter "title !~= (?i)money" if you want to exclude all entries with titles that has word "money" in it.
2. --match-filter "title ~= (?i)money" if you want to include only entries with a title that has a word "money" in it.

A simpler solution is to use --match-title money to only have entries with "money" word in their titles and --reject-title money to only have entries that do not have "money" word in their titles.
