youtube-dl: change ouput filenames of multiple streams of a video

[flashandpan007]

I like youtube-dl and want to download different formats of videos.

To do this I use for example "-f 18,43" for downloading different streams.
But how do I use output template to change the output filenames of each file?

May you please help me?

But how do I use output template to change the output filenames of each file?

Example command line:

youtube-dl [options] [url] -o %(autonumber)s-%(title)s-%(format_id)s.%(ext)s

youtube-dl -F "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydBjsZnHrwM"

Is it possible to change the output filename with two or more files?
The following doesn't work. I need something to separate the different output names.

youtube-dl -f 134/140 -o %(title)1.%(ext)s <here it needs a separator> %(title)2.%(ext)s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video

[flashandpan007]

nobody?

[flashandpan007]

I can't believe that ...

this code doesn't work for you?

youtube-dl -f 134,140 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video" -o "%(title)s%(autonumber)s.%(ext)s"

[flashandpan007]

it does work, but I want to specify the two filenames exactly. Is there a way to do this?

[biezom]

if the problem is the size of the number you can use --autonumber-size option

youtube-dl -f 134,140 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video"  -o "%(title)s%(autonumber)s.%(ext)s" --autonumber-size "1"

[flashandpan007]

Ok, thanks for that.
But is there the possibility to put in two different filenames for the two files?

maybe

youtube-dl -f 134 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydBjsZnHrwM"  -o "title1.%(ext)s" && youtube-dl -f 140 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydBjsZnHrwM"  -o "title2.%(ext)s"

Thank you
So I have to put in the youtube-url two times. If you know a shorter version, please let me know.

Nice.
