More info about this... 1) I'm actually specifying one additional argument to youtube-dl, "-f 95", to select the specific video format that I want to download.
2) Unfortunately, I can't give you a Youtube URL that exhibits this issue, because the video that I'm downloading is a live Youtube stream that is only accessible for viewing while it's streaming, and I can't find a persistent, i.e., non-live video on Youtube which has format 95. 3) I can't reproduce this with persistent videos with other -f arguments. 4) As I mentioned above, the command is being run out of a cron job, but that doesn't seem to be the entire issue either, because I just ran youtube-dl --quiet -f # URL out of a cron job and couldn't reproduce this. I'm pretty stumped here. I definitely see this behavior when recording the specific video mentioned above, but I just can't figure out how to reproduce it to demonstrate it to you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637874 Title: youtube-dl --quiet is anything but To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/youtube-dl/+bug/1637874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
