about max file size and formats

[hcevikbas]

Hi guys,

I want to do that.

I add --max-filesize option for download but if best quality file size is bigger than my limit youtube-dl auto change video format best to worst or normal

Is this possible ?

Sorry for my language.

Could you post which command are you using and the output you get it you add the --verbose option?

You're not using the --max-filesizeoption. Could you post the output with that option (if possible as text)?, so that we can see what the problem is.

I add --max-filesize option

Using youtube-dl --max-filesize 15MiB -f 18/5/36 doesn't work as expected - expected to download one of the specified formats if under max-filesize - currently just checks the first one and then exits if it's greater than max-filesize.
