Release [Module] youtube-dl - multi-site playable URL resolver
Hi, again, ruuk,
I see that within YoutubeDL.py and options.py that indeed the youtube-dl options are there in script.module.youtube.dl.

Let me explain my situation. I have a youtube link that streams CNN Live. At present I use youtube-dl to grab the list of formats available for that youtube link, choose the quality of stream I want, then write that m3u8 link to a file named CNN.strm. I then place this file in the Videos folder within Kodi on my RPi3. I do this all with a bash script that I wrote activated every hour via a cronjob that I have scheduled. Of course, my laptop has to be on for this to occur. The only problem with this is, unlike the original youtube link that never changes, the m3u8 link changes (goes dead) around every hour.

If I could do the same procedure within Kodi (on my RPi3) then the m3u8 link would up all the time without my laptop being on.

I searched for documentation as to how to do this in script.module.youtube.dl, but have been unable to find it. Does documentation for this exist? If so, could you point me to it?

Hope you respond.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Bob
