I'm trying to download all formats for DASH support using this article:

My question is: How can I download everything except .webm files?

If you're doing this for DASH support, I'd use the Python library with some scripting.

Install the youtube-dl Python module and check out the documentation https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#embedding-youtube-dl (not great but you should be able to look up the functionality you need).
