It doesn't like that either. The original is one line. That said, I read where you can put one option on each line and have multiple lines. The top line is what I already had so I tried the second one. It gave me this. ERROR: 'ytdl-format=bestvideo[height<=?1280]+bestaudio/best' is not a valid URL. Set --default-search "ytsearch" (or run youtube-dl "ytsearch:ytdl-format=bestvideo[height<=?1280]+bestaudio/best" ) to search YouTube [youtube] byTOZIvyXPo: Downloading webpage It seems to see something as a URL instead of a option. Thing is, when I google, I find a lot of people using the exact same line. I'm beginning to wonder if Arve has a point. Maybe something else changed and that changed how youtube-dl works. To test, I wanted to re-emerge youtube-dl. When I tried, I got this little bit of spit up on my keyboard. root@fireball / # emerge -a youtube-dl These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
