We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I have some videos with IDs that start with a '-' and I can't figure out how to download them from the command line. Anyone knows?

What error do you get? Tried quoting the whole url ?

[–] JungleEnthusiast64@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'm guessing your running commands on Linux? I usually just use a website that converts the video url into a high vuality download mp4.

You can always use "--" that is dash dash when video ID starts with '-'
