--list-extractors List all supported extractors and exit
--extractor-descriptions Output descriptions of all supported
extractors and exit
- --force-generic-extractor Force extraction to use the generic extractor
+ --use-extractors, --ies NAMES Extractor names to use separated by commas.
+ You can also use regexes, "all", "default"
+ and "end" (end URL matching); e.g. --ies
+ "holodex.*,end,youtube". Prefix the name
+ with a "-" to exclude it, e.g. --ies
+ default,-generic. Use --list-extractors for
+ a list of available extractor names
--default-search PREFIX Use this prefix for unqualified URLs. E.g.
"gvsearch2:python" downloads two videos from
google videos for the search term "python".
#### Not recommended
While these options still work, their use is not recommended since there are other alternatives to achieve the same

--exec-before-download CMD --exec "before_dl:CMD"
