How about this?

Another words, here is some code that I wrote. I know that it works because I checked it before I posted so that I would not look foolish. Go ahead, take it if you want, it's a public forum. Do want you want. I would advise that you look at it to make sure that it doesn't do something bad before you run it. But, since it's on a public forum, and there are scores of people who know python, they would tell right away.

If you don't have any idea how python works, and what those funny lines of stuff are, then don't try to use it.

At least not until you read these.
https://docs.python.org/3/
https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.html
https://www.programcreek.com/python/...e_dl.YoutubeDL

And then you have the normal python syntax's that you'll need to get your head around.

Code:
from youtube_dl import YoutubeDL
#is different than
import youtube_dl
Code:
>>> import youtube_dl
>>> help(youtube_dl)

Help on package youtube_dl:

NAME
    youtube_dl - # coding: utf-8

PACKAGE CONTENTS
    YoutubeDL
    __main__
    aes
    cache
    compat
    downloader (package)
    extractor (package)
    jsinterp
    options
    postprocessor (package)
    socks
    swfinterp
    update
    utils
    versio
    ...
Blah blah blah...it's python.

Holy cow, this thread took off during the time I'd given up on it. Wow and thanks to everyone who replied.

I didn't even realize youtube-dl has a man page: my install doesn't have one and I'll need to sort that out next. Thank you for this datum!
