Hi there. Upfront I'd like to mention my English is not the greatest, it's not my natural language.

Anyway, I wanted youtube-dl to be able to download (on youtube):

-user profile image (so this) -video watermark (so this) -channel background (optional) (so this) -extra video information (so stuff like this)

Thank you for your time

Hi @leetbacoon and @Zachary24,

I have a one-liner for downloading profile image and channel background using wget and sed:

wget `wget -O - 'https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC39KF9j7hucS2xncTO8d5CQ' | sed -n '/data-thumb=/!s|.*\(//yt3\.ggpht\.com[^")]*\)[")].*|https:\1|p' | sort | uniq`

Does the shell command work for you?
