Cant get youtube-dl get working as an function

[WeWin55]

So I dont know why I cant get youtube-dl get working as a function.
I tested also to just do loady --help but that doesnt work either.
I need help. Sry.

Here my test script:
loady () {
/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl -f 144
}

loady https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpTZlXn3pxY

My final code should look like that:

youtube1=""
youtube2=""
loady () {
/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl [options]
}

loady $youtube1 $youtube2

Assuming this is shell script, you forgot to specify the arguments when you call youtube-dl that has been passed to your function. It should look alike this:

/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl -f 144 $1

No i didnt forget that.
It should get the --reject option and then look at the url but it doesnt.

Here is my script:
(silly github formation, its always one line)

loady () {
/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl --playlist-end 7 -w -r 1000K --no-mtime --write-thumbnail --output '%(uploader)s - %(title)s - %(resolution)s.%(ext)s' --date $(date +"%Y%m%d")
}

loady --reject-title "bloodborne|creed|hex|fifa|league|storm" "https://www.youtube.com/user/PietSmittie/videos?&ab_channel=PietSmiet"

Re-read my answer carefully. Arguments you pass to loady outside (--reject-title, "bloodborne|creed|hex|fifa|league|storm" and "https://www.youtube.com/user/PietSmittie/videos?&ab_channel=PietSmiet" in your case) are not passed to youtube-dl call inside script. You can access them within script using $1, $2, $3 and so on or $@ array.

So I have to do?:

1="--reject-title "bloodborne|creed|hex|fifa|league|storm""
2="https://www.youtube.com/user/PietSmittie/videos?&ab_channel=PietSmiet"

loady () {
/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl --playlist-end 7 -w -r 1000K --no-mtime --write-thumbnail --output '%(uploader)s - %(title)s - %(resolution)s.%(ext)s' --date $(date +"%Y%m%d")
}

loady $1 $2

You are totally misusing it. I suggest you starting here.

ohh I think you mean i should do that:

options="--playlist-end 7 -w -r 1000K --no-mtime --write-thumbnail --output '%(uploader)s - %(title)s - %(resolution)s.%(ext)s' --date $(date +"%Y%m%d")"
url="https://www.youtube.com/user/PietSmittie/videos?&ab_channel=PietSmiet"

/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl $1 §2
