Disable individual download sites

[demiantres]

Hi,
Is it possible to configure the python scripts so that certain portals are disabled? Just removing the extractor files produces errors.

You have to remove the file and the import statement in youtube_dl/extractor/init.py.
Why do you need it?

Can you elaborate why you do want that? If certain extractors are
errorneous, I believe there are easier ways than disabling them. For
one, we could simply fix them.

It would e.g. be useful to hinder my kids to use the script to download from certain sites.

Simply add --age-limit 12 (substitute 12 for your kids' age) to /etc/youtube-dl.conf. There is no need to modify youtube-dl itself.
