How to use audio-quality and output?

[mishop]

Dear,
Wen i use --audio-quality option and --otuput, always file is in same quality.
Exapmle:
youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 5 --prefer-ffmpeg --output 123.mp3 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic8ZJbozYFY"

The file 123.mp3 is corrupted and same players can't play this. When remove --otput download file are ok, but I need output option to import file in aplication.

Use --output '123.%(ext)s' instead, otherwise you are telling youtube-dl to save the original file as 123.mp3 and it will think it's already an mp3 file.

If you have any problem, post the output with the --verbose option.
