This seems to be due to format merging by ffmpeg; with -f best, it does not merge and so does not do that. <https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/14864> + +To do disk free space checking will need a different technique than +git-annex normally uses, because youtube-dl does not provide an easy way to +query for size. Could use --dump-json, but that would require downloading +the web page yet again, so too expensive.. and, the json seems to have +"filesize: null" for youtube videos. What does work is the --max-filesize +option, which makes youtube-dl abort if it's too big. |
