Invalid format selection syntax. There is no comma operator inside brackets.

thank you for the fastest response ever, much appreciated. I understand commas are not valid inside brackets, is there another way to specify multiple conditions (mp4, less than 2GB and max 1080p)?

Yes. See documentation.

Thanks,
I read the documentation all over again, line by line and I realized that filters are separated using their own brackets. I went ahead and corrected my example but I still end up with the same result. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong at this point:

I also attempted using --match-filter (which I guess is not the right way to do it) and I didn't get any results either:

I know I might be very frustrating at this point, but would you mind giving me a pointer so that I can achieve what I'm trying to do?
Thank you and best regards

@nikooo777 filesize is not available for DASH formats:

Formats for which the value is not known are excluded unless you put a question mark (?) after the operator.

That was the culprit!
Thank you very much for your patience with me tonight.
