Download only 1080p videos

[WeWin55]

Hello,

I want to download just 1920x1080 mp4 videos with audio.

My download script for downloading the video is:

-f "bestvideo[ext=mp4][height=1080]+bestaudio/best"

But if youtube is working on the video and its only available at lower resolution it just downloads the lower ones.
I dont know how to make youtube-dl to just download videos that are mp4 and 1920x1080
PS: Another little question:
I it possible to put the output file name of the finished downloaded file in a variable?

Thanks in advance,

Greetings WeWin

/best means that it will fallback to the best format if the 1080p format is not available, using -f "bestvideo[ext=mp4][height=1080]+bestaudio" will only download the 1080 format (but it will fail if it's not available).

it possible to put the output file name of the finished downloaded file in a variable?

Use --get-filename, which will only print the filename and not download the video.
