Option to choose destination path

[NickyThomassen]

Assuming it doesn't already exists, would it be possible to include a option to choose the destination of the downloaded file?

As far as the man-page goes, there is no mention of such a option.

Thanks for youtube-dl, it's a very handy little tool.

You can simply use -o to define your format, like this:

-o '/my/downloads/%(extractor)s-%(uploader)s/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s' 

I added an example to the documentation of -o.

One more question: What search terms did you use to search in the manpage? I'll include those then ;)

[NickyThomassen]

Cool, I didn't thought of using -o like that.

Search the manpages? That's possible? I just read everything under "man youtube-dl" and then loosely browsed the threads here, to avoid duplicates.

Thanks for the help :)

It depends on your pager, if it is less like on most systems, then you can search with /pattern and repeat search with n. See man less, and search for /pattern (Inception!)
