Determine file size in advance

[androidealp]

I searched the youtube api and found how to get the size of the video "getVideoBytesTotal ()", but need to run the video to get the size.

My goal is to make an ajax progressbar via php where to display the download progress. I noticed that the youtube-dl does not bring this information.

Is there a way where I can get the size of the video prior to downloading? ssh or via php?

See #152 for a generic solution for your problem, but that hasn't been implemented yet.

I don't know if there is already a solution implemented. I use curl (in BASH):

contentlength=$(curl -sI $vidurl | awk '/Content-Length/{sub("\r","");print $2}')
(-s+captial i)

This accesses the header of vidurl, the final, decoded url of the video to be downloaded.
I hope this helps.
