Need help using youtube-dl for these situations (alien.top)
 

Does anyone know how I can use youtube-dl for these specialized cases?

​

  1. How to download 180/360 VR videos?

If I just just the URL in the command line, does it by default download the full 180/360 video?

​

  1. How to download those videos with a tracklist in description?

For example, this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU7SGn0MeP0&list=FLT7JApUJPhBmVwoLb2o9HWA&index=1&pp=gAQB

Probably the track list cannot be embedded in the resulting webm file. Are there any other apps that can download such videos?

  1. How to sign in with youtube-dl?

Some videos return this:

ERROR: [youtube]: Sign in to confirm your age. This video may be inappropriate for some users.

How do I log in?

Cloning with macrium reflect. - any need to format beforehand? (alien.top)
 

My issue is that my 14tb target drive seems to have some issues.. I did a scan and at certain points the drive freezes for a few seconds then continues. I ran this thing called hdd llf which I think isn't true llf but rather just writes 0s over the drive.it took around 24 hours so I don't wish to repeat that, but it went smoothly without the freezing so I think it marked the bad errors and stored the info somewhere.

I know I shouldn't use a suspected faulty drive but I just want to do this now before a new drive arrives as it will take some time.

My question now is, if I use macrium reflect to clone a drive onro this one and use intelligent sector copy, does macriim reflect reformat the drive again? Will the stored info on the bad areas, made by HDD llf, be lost?

Xiaomi temp humidity sensor 2 - any way to get readings from far away? (alien.top)
 

I got hold of this and realized that the smart function uses Bluetooth on the phone mi home app. So that means to get a reading i have to switch on Bluetooth and hold my phone really close to it and get a reading 5 seconds later.

I want to check on this sensor remotely when I'm out of the country. Is it possible at all?
