It would be great if youtube-dl would return which file was actually created so that the created files could be post-processed.
Normally we can use
--print-jsonand then read the property_filename.But sometimes youtube-dl has to convert the downloaded file:
Then, the JSON property
_filenamedoes not reflect this change, and e.g. still displays the-mp4extension:As a solution, a separate JSON property could be defined, for example
created_filenameThanks a lot for this great Tool!, it's great to create backups because even in Europe, censorship of harmless content is increasing.
Kind regards,
