[Request] - A --reject-uploader for youtube.com

[Piokaz]

• I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2017.02.14

• At least skimmed through README and most notably FAQ and BUGS sections

• Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones

What is the purpose of your issue?

• Feature request (request for a new functionality)

Didn't see this anywhere in the issues.
Possible to have a param to exclude some uploaders from youtube.com, like the --reject-title one ?

Thanks.

Parameters added. See PR #12144

This should work:

youtube-dl --match-filter "uploader != (uploader name)"

[Piokaz]

@ThomasChr Thank you, that was fast !

@yan12125 Doesn't work.

Already tried it before this request, from the docs, comparisons with match-filter (<,>,=, != etc..) only work with numbers, so with likes, dislikes, duration (and probably others vars with numbers).

--match-filter works just fine for that. Since db13c16 it's also possible to use string literals in quotes, e.g. if you need to match string with spaces: --match-filter "uploader = 'some string' & duration > 30".
