Possible Bug: --reject-title not rejecting?

[BridgeUK]

• I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2017.03.22
• At least skimmed through README and most notably FAQ and BUGS sections
• Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones
• Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Hi, I'm not 100% sure if this is a bug or not, when I use "--reject-title REGEX" it should be skipping a matching file, instead it still shows "[ffmpeg] Fixing malformated aac bitstream" for each file, is there a way I can stop "[ffmpeg] Fixing malformated aac bitstream" from appearing when a matching file is found, thank you very much

Post the full output of youtube-dl when run with -v, i.e. add -v flag to your command line, copy the whole output and post it in the issue body wrapped in ``` for better formatting. It should look similar to this:

$ youtube-dl -v <your command line>

Do not post screenshots of verbose log only plain text is acceptable.

The output (including the first lines) contains important debugging information. Issues without the full output are often not reproducible and therefore do not get solved in short order, if ever.

Did you even read the description of --reject-title?

[BridgeUK]

@dstftw I did, it says, "Skip download for matching titles"

[BridgeUK]

I'm just wondering why it still does "[ffmpeg] Fixing malformated aac bitstream" even though it doesn't edit the file

[dstftw]

REGEX must be

(regex or caseless sub-string)

not a "REGEX" literal.

[BridgeUK]

@dstftw "--reject-title regex" still doesn't skip the "[ffmpeg] Fixing malformated aac bitstream" though

[dstftw]

🤦‍♂️
it should be your custom string that will be used for rejecting by title, e.g. --reject-title facepalm will reject all videos with "facepalm" in it's title.

@dstftw i'm really sorry i didn't understand before, now i fully understand, thank you very much for your time and help, i really appreciate it

[BridgeUK]

I'd just like to add, in case anyone reads this, I make a mistake, this was not what I was after, but I have sorted it now 👍 thanks @dstftw
