How to return the file name in embedded python script

[crhuber]

Im importing youtube-dl in a python script. When the video finishes downloading I want to save the filename to my database. In the hooks I dont know how to access any of the parameters/variables that were passed into the the original 'download' function. I need the url parameter so I can query and update my database.

def hooks(data):
if data['status'] == 'finished':
filename = data['filename']
#how can i access the url parameter from the download function?

def download(url):
options = {
'restrictfilenames': True,
'simulate': False,
'progress_hooks': [hooks],
}
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(options) as ydl:
ydl.download([url])

Currently it's not provided, but you could use:

def download(url):
    def hooks(data):
        if data['status'] == 'finished':
            filename = data['filename']
            # url is the url used when calling download()
            print(url)

    options = {
        'restrictfilenames': True,
        'simulate': False,
        'progress_hooks': [hooks],
    }
    with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(options) as ydl:
        ydl.download([url])
