[OT]: Question re: youtube-dl

[JD]

Hi all youtube-dl users,
Can this program find and download a vid with a rather specific substring
in the URL of the vid?
A substring such as:
"0AmvYqE0amg" for example.
Thanx for the syntax of how to do this.

Wrong mailing list I think

When it's working (and that's not with all YouTube clips), I found that 
you could either provide the full URI to the clip, or the code.

e.g. youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6buaHn2dp4
  or, youtube-dl K6buaHn2dp4

I haven't found one that didn't work (other than pay ones).  It can also 
download from many other video sites, not just youtube, if you provide 
the full url.
