This is killing me. Videos that are gigabytes in size instead of a couple hundred mb. I don’t have the storage space for this. I don’t have the bandwidth for this. More and more content creators are using 4k video instead of 1080p. Is there an easy way to make it only download videos in 1080p? I’ve found a few commands around the internet that don’t work, presumably they work on some videos sometimes but that’s just not good enough.
I download videos from a custom made web interface connected to yt-dlp so if it’s no longer going to be possible to automate the process of video and playlist downloading then everything is going to become a huge pain in the ass.
