Make sure you are using the latest version: run youtube-dl --version and ensure your version is 2018.08.22. If it's not, read this FAQ entry and update. Issues with outdated version will be rejected.

  • I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2018.08.22

Before submitting an issue make sure you have:

  • At least skimmed through the README, most notably the FAQ and BUGS sections
  • Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones
  • Checked that provided video/audio/playlist URLs (if any) are alive and playable in a browser

What is the purpose of your issue?

  • Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)
  • Site support request (request for adding support for a new site)
  • Feature request (request for a new functionality)
  • Question
  • Other

I use youtube-dl heavily in downloading mostly YouTube content, usually by channel, and downloaded videos are added to an archive file.

Youtube-dl produces a LOT of stdout information when downloading from a large list of videos/channels, making the quiet option highly desirable.

However, when youtube-dl encounters an error, it prints a generic error with no reference to the video in question, requiring that it be re-run without quiet enabled to see the stdout line where the video/site are mentioned, to address the error. (Which I usually do by adding the particular video to the archive file manually).

It would be helpful if when youtube-dl encounters an error, it also prints the video information to stderr as well.

Just an update on this, it seems to still be an issue even when quiet mode is not enabled, and on the current version as well. (2019-07-16)
