youtube-dl: Select the best format but exclude DASH [duplicate]

  • 772

DASH formats are not supported by external downloaders like aria2, so I like to avoid them. Merging two formats is ok (so I don't want -f best). What should I use for -f?

youtube-dl

    -f '(bestvideo+bestaudio/best)[protocol^=http]' only includes formats that are downloadable by http(s).
