WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE
Hi, can youtube-dl support using own specifying output file name template like --batch-file?
--batch-file requires a text file listing URLs
so can we customize output file name the same way?
Something like -o filename.txt
where filename.txt is like the text file used behind the command--batch-file but change all URLs into respective self-defined output file name,
For example, let's say I want to download a youtube videos and I wish the filename is 'xx.mp4',
so I write one text file pasting its URL saving as batchfile.txt,
then I write another text file pasting xx.mp4, which is the file name I want youtube-dl to use,
after that, saving it as filename.txt
Finally, using youtube-dl -o filename.txt --batch-file batchfile.txt resulting my desired outcome..
