How do I use "--format" now?

[esamo]

Hello.

I used to do --format [prioritized formats] and get the first matching format, that was very useful - but now all given formats are downloaded. How do I set up preference order now (just one format needed) instead of requesting all formats?

My goal is to get the lowest possible quality of looong videos - without checking available formats of each video. Worked fine before :/ .

For worst video+audio use -f worst

Have you read FAQ?
-f worst to download worst single file media, -f worstvideo+worstaudio (youtube and ted only) to download worst video + worst audio and mux them together.
