I can't see a use case, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. ~ OK, I see your point. Say, you have a list of youtube urls, which feeds you want to download using a script or a playlist someone put together, but you don't want to download files that are too large, which may not be of any use to you. For example, I teach and it doesn't make any sense to use a full movie as part of a class set. So I would like for youtube-dl to let me know which files are larger than a given size (and possibly save them in a file) for me to check the files first
My languages are ANSI C, C++ and java. When I was young and silly would blab girls just because they crossed my way, now I don't like to even look into anything that I don't want to invest my time in on an ongoing basis. I would let people that code python and have a mental map of that code base do it themselves lbrtchx -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
