currently i get the filename as just the video title so for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2x-v9RXzfc i get A Short Goodbye, Taylor Swift's Profit Play, Trump's Historic Saudi Arabia Response & More...-g2x-v9RXzfc.mp4.



i sort the video in explorer by their Date so that video that were just uploaded get put at the bottom when i drag them into VLC.



sometimes i want to see an older video from a certain uploader first and move it up the list (ie. a news video i missed) but in a list of 25+ videos it's hard to tell which video came from who so i wanted to add the uploaded name. i found this answer and altered my command to



youtube-dl -a "videoList.txt" -f "best" -o "[%(uploader)s] %(title)s.%(ext)s"


i get this



ERROR: fixed output name but more than one file to download




ERROR: fixed output name but more than one file to download




So how can i specify a filename for videos downloaded from a video list in youtube-dl? format eg. [Philip DeFranco] A Short Goodbye, Taylor Swift's Profit Play, Trump's Historic Saudi Arabia Response & More...-g2x-v9RXzfc.mp4






youtube-dl

          QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

          Image
          1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
