In the csv file, you can also specify the format, time_start, time_end and bitrate for each audio, such as
| url | format | time_start | time_end | fps | bitrate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqkjYKUXERQ | mp3 | 0 | 44100 | 3000k | |
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOubjLM9Cbc | mp3 | 3 | 100 | 200 | 500k |
Here is the content of the example.csv file:
url,format,time_start,time_end,fps,bitrate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqkjYKUXERQ,mp3,0,,44100,3000k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOubjLM9Cbc,mp3,3,100,200,500k
To download all the audios from the urls listed in this file by calling:
$ ytb_downloader_bulk example.csv
If you want to download the videos only, you need to provide a csv file with one column url, and list all the urls you want to download in that column. Then execute:
$ ytb_downloader_bulk --video-only example.csv
