Thats a lot of channels. Ok if you forgot why we are here we are going to download 100 videos and have them streaming live in our zaby all in less than 5 minutes. Command Line program is like everything that is in a regular program then the windows and button all throw away. Trust me there is no clicking. Preferably your using Ubuntu ssh but they have Windows I think tcp windows would be very slow so try and avoid windows. Lets look at our options.
youtube-dl [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]
OPTIONS
-h, --help Print this help text and exit
--version Print program version and exit
-U, --update Update this program to latest version. Make
sure that you have sufficient permissions

example "gvsearch2:" downloads two videos
from google videos for youtube-dl "large
apple". Use the value "auto" to let
youtube-dl guess ("auto_warning" to emit a

an error. The default value "fixup_error"
repairs broken URLs, but emits an error if
this is not possible instead of searching.
