See the "YouTube formats" section in the program webpage. |

Ah, didn't see that. Could we include the Wikipedia URL in the --help text? |
|
That would be too long, and the official documentation has always been the webpage. The --help text is, like most help texts, a quick reference to find all the options at a glance. However, I think I'll reorganize the webpage and add an index at the top, so that the formats section will be spotted easily. |

The --help text refers to "video format codes", but nowhere are these listed or defined. It gives the example of "17" as a format code (for the mobile version), which seems arbitrary to me. I couldn't find the codes in the source. My expectation of a "format code" would be something like "720p", "480p", "320p", or "240p". Do the used numeric codes correspond to these, and if so how?
