2 years ago Hi, Can you give me the list of options which are valid but not included in the list? Restricting the options to a predefined list is to guard against invalid options.

2 years ago In fact, in my case, I use yt-dlp which offer more possibilities than youtube-dl.
This is the yt-dlp help with all options:
Usage: yt-dlp [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]
Options:
General Options:
-h, --help Print this help text and exit
--version Print program version and exit
-U, --update Update this program to latest version. Make sure that you have sufficient permissions (run with sudo if needed)
-i, --ignore-errors Ignore download and postprocessing errors. The download will be considered successful even if the postprocessing
fails
--no-abort-on-error Continue with next video on download errors; e.g. to skip unavailable videos in a playlist (default)
--abort-on-error Abort downloading of further videos if an error occurs (Alias: --no-ignore-errors)
--dump-user-agent Display the current user-agent and exit
--list-extractors List all supported extractors and exit
--extractor-descriptions Output descriptions of all supported extractors and exit
--force-generic-extractor Force extraction to use the generic extractor
--default-search PREFIX Use this prefix for unqualified URLs. For example "gvsearch2:" downloads two videos from google videos for the
search term "large apple". Use the value "auto" to let yt-dlp guess ("auto_warning" to emit a warning when
guessing). "error" just throws an error. The default value "fixup_error" repairs broken URLs, but emits an error if
this is not possible instead of searching
--ignore-config Don't load any more configuration files except those given by --config-locations. For backward compatibility, if
this option is found inside the system configuration file, the user configuration is not loaded. (Alias: --no-
config)
--no-config-locations Do not load any custom configuration files (default). When given inside a configuration file, ignore all previous
--config-locations defined in the current file
--config-locations PATH Location of the main configuration file; either the path to the config or its containing directory. Can be used
multiple times and inside other configuration files
--flat-playlist Do not extract the videos of a playlist, only list them
