First of all thanks for the help and congrats for the wonderful app.

Now i have lastest version in the app and i cant solve my problem.

Im backing up some courses from Safari Books Online before my expiration account, some files are extremly big and i need automatic quality selection. I tried using -f "[filesize<=?100M]" but still choosing the best option (300Mb+). In the process i notice in json file, filesize it is nowhere, probably thats the problem. I tried using --match-filter 'filesize_approx' but i failed again.

I need 2 thing.

• Download only one video in the list only if the filesize is less than 100Mb
• That file needs to be native mp4, because muxing video+audio create problems in the file.
