WRITE QUESTION HERE
Hi i use youtube-dl with mplayer through a binding to download videos from my browser and rss feed. i use the following command: mplayer -fs $(youtube-dl -g -f 22 URL) sometimes -f 22 isnt available and i need to use-f 18 instead as this is almost a universal standard for youtube videos. Is it possible to tell youtube-dl to use one format if the other is not available?

Use -f 22/18, or -f best to download the highest-bitrate format with both video and audio.
