Hi,

Youtube streaming protocol is special TCP ( or UDP?) or youtubes own protocol. Online materials still confuse me in this.
My real question is what is the protocol used by youtube.dl for downloading a youtube content ?

Thanks
Rilwan

They all use one of the higher level protocols over HTTP(S).
