Before I run my Linux script for download a youtube video stream I would like to be able to check if the URL supplied is valid, i.e. it does not display an error message like this video does: https://youtu.be/21qP3flYoic
Can this be done using youtube-dl or straight ffmpeg? I need a bash script or function "validytvideo" which returns 0 if the URL is OK and 1 if not. I am using ffmpeg in scripts to download news videos unattended and I want to be notified when a YouTube URL has become unavailable... Please suggest a bash script solution rather than python, which I do not master... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
