Question

Hi. I simply wish to know how to use the Output template to pull video data such as the upload date and view count and save to a text document. Is this possible to do, and can you provide an example command?

youtube-dl --get-id --get-duration --get-title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEmdbcW7D3Q >> example.txt pulls the ID, duration, and title and saves as a text document, as an example. But I am confused as to how to use the output template.
