Youtube-dl Config File Not Reading...

[Waldoctg]

I added it to /usr/local/etc and I set it to youtube-dl.conf in my system but it doesn't work. This is what I added:
--extract-audio
--no-mtime
--audio-format wav
--audio-quality 0
--output "/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s"
I searched around a lot, but I can't find why it isn't reading. Any advice?

~/usr/local/etc is not a valid configuration path. Read FAQ.

It says /etc/youtube-dl.conf though...I'm confused, isn't that where I'm at?

/etc/youtube-dl.conf is not in your home folder. If you want a config just for your user, you can use ~/.config/youtube-dl/config.

I try that too, but when I type ~/.config/youtube-dl/config in Terminal, it says -bash: cd: /Users/USERNAME/.config/youtube-dl/config: No such file or directory

Obviously you must create it first.

[jaimeMF]

To be clear: you must create the file config inside the ~/.config/youtube-dl folder (which you obviously need to create first).

Thanks!
