 ====== Youtube-dl ======
+Great tool for downloading from [[youtube]], and elsewhere.
+It's [[github>ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29965|currently unmaintained]], so I've switched to a fork called [[yt-dlp]] to get around slow speeds downloading from Youtube.
 ===== Useful Arguments =====
@@ Line 9: / Line 12: @@
 ^ ''-v'' | Verbose process info. Good if something's going wrong. |
 ^ ''-w'' | Don't overwrite files. |
+===== Configuration =====
+You can put any argument in the file ''~/.config/youtube-dl/config'', and it will add them any time it runs.
+So it's an easy way to specify a common download location and naming template, for example.
+Mine just looks like this:
+<file config>
+#	Output template
+--output ~/Downloads/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s
+</file>
