Can I have some help regarding using yt-dlp.
- How to select a specific duration of video to be downloaded like from 00 to 600 seconds in video of 8 hours.
- When downloading songs from youtube with metadata and thumbnail I get thumbnails in rectangular shape instead of square. How to turn them square?
Asking it here cause, Discussion on repository is closed and it is FOSS software.
You can use the
--download-sections
parameter to specify a time range.--download-sections "*0-600"
would download the first 600 seconds to the nearest keyframe. To make it exact, you would have to re-encode the video after downloading it.For making the thumbnail square, you will probably have to write a script to extract it, crop it, and re-insert it.
