Description

The audio extract file is not getting downloaded when --get-filename is mentioned.

➜ cat ~/.config/youtube-dl/config 
# Lines starting with # are comments

# Always extract audio
-x

# Do not copy the mtime
--no-mtime

# Save all videos under Movies directory in your home directory
-o ~/xyz/Movies/%(title)s.%(ext)s

this is expected behaviour.

The below command would give the filename after download.

youtube-dl -x --quiet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGYLCXJhJnI -f bestaudio --exec 'echo {}'
