Download Options
-----------------
Download a single subscription in the form of CLI arguments.
.. code-block::
ytdl-sub [GENERAL OPTIONS] dl [SUBSCRIPTION ARGUMENTS]
``SUBSCRIPTION ARGUMENTS`` are exactly the same as YAML arguments, but use periods (``.``) instead
of indents for specifying YAML from the CLI. For example, you can represent this subscription:
.. code-block:: yaml
rick_a:
preset:
- "tv_show"
overrides:
tv_show_name: "Rick A"
url: "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw"
Using the command:
.. code-block:: bash
ytdl-sub dl \
--preset "tv_show" \
--overrides.tv_show_name "Rick A" \
--overrides.url: "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw"
