Exit Error Code (ERRORLEVEL in CMD)

[sirinath]

Is it possible to set the error level to the number of failed downloads or a bit mask return code to signify there was a failure which ever make sense from your end.

[phihag]

No, it is not a good idea to return the number of failed downloads, since that would collide with common other error codes and in general leave us unable to signal specific error conditions. You can pass the output of youtube-dl or embed it in a Python script. Like all other applications, youtube-dl will exit with 0 iff everything succeeded.

Can you publish the current error codes

[jaimeMF]

0 on success, 1 on failure and 101 if the maximum downloads given with --max-download is reached.
