I have some videos with IDs that start with a ‘-’ and I can’t figure out how to download them from the command line. Anyone knows?

    I’m guessing your running commands on Linux? I usually just use a website that converts the video url into a high vuality download mp4.

    You can always use “–” that is dash dash when video ID starts with ‘-’

    like so
