This code snippet appears to be an argument in the context of a command-line tool, most likely youtube-dl
or yt-dlp
, which are tools used to download videos from websites like YouTube.
The -o
option specifies the output template for the filenames of downloaded files. Here's what the provided code does:
Folder_Name_of_Channel/
: This is the directory (or folder) where the downloaded video file will be saved. ReplaceFolder_Name_of_Channel
with the desired folder name, usually corresponding to the channel associated with the video.%(title)s
: This placeholder will be replaced by the title of the video.[%(id)s]
: This placeholder will be replaced by the unique video ID (e.g., YouTube's video ID)..%(ext)s
: This placeholder will be replaced by the file's extension, which corresponds to the format of the downloaded video (e.g.,.mp4
,.webm
).
Example
If you download a video with the following properties:
- Title:
Amazing Video
- ID:
a1b2c3d4e5
- File format:
.mp4
The downloaded file will be saved as:
Folder_Name_of_Channel/Amazing Video [a1b2c3d4e5].mp4
In summary, this code specifies the naming pattern and directory for saving downloaded videos when using youtube-dl
or yt-dlp
.
