Ah.. that's embarrassing. Yes they are, thank you for your time. |
I have to say that I'm a big fan of this program, It's actually the reason that I passed calculus 1A last semester (downloading math tutoring play-lists then watching at home).
I have a pay-by-usage web connection, so I'm asking for an additional option in the simulate/verbosity area of the program. I see options to get-description, get-filename, get-format, etc. but I don't see an option to get-filesize. The only way I see to get that information is by actually starting the download of a file and stop it quickly if it looks too big.
I'm thinking something like this command:
youtube-dl --get-filesize -f 18 youtube.com/watch/etc
Even if it is just an estimate, or if it returns the occasional error of size-not-known, it would save me quite a few precious mb's when I'm at home.
Thank you.
