The provided command snippet seems to be using yt-dlp
, a popular command-line tool for downloading videos from various websites (a fork of the older youtube-dl
). It appears to be incomplete and may also contain some syntax errors or misconfiguration. Let me break down what it might be trying to do:
Components:
-
yt-dlp
- This is the command-line tool being invoked.
-
%(formats.:.{format_id,height})#j
-
This part looks like an attempt to use a template string for formatting. However, it appears to be invalid or miswritten.
-
In
yt-dlp
, template strings (%(field)s
) are used to customize filenames, output details, or video formats. They typically look like%(field)s
, wherefield
represents specific metadata about the video (e.g.,title
,id
,ext
, etc.). -
However, the syntax
%(formats.:.{format_id,height})
seems incorrect or corrupted. Normally, you'd access format metadata using specific well-defined fields provided byyt-dlp
.

Based on intent:
- It seems like the user may have been attempting to build a custom video output specification (e.g., referencing format ID and height). However, the syntax is invalid.
Final Answer:
The provided code snippet is incomplete or invalid for yt-dlp
. If its intent is to list or select formats based on specific attributes (like format ID or video height), it would require proper syntax. For example:
- To list available formats:
yt-dlp -F <URL>
- To download a specific format by ID or height:
yt-dlp -f <format_id> <URL>
If you meant something else or need corrections for this code, feel free to clarify!
