DASH formats are not supported by external downloaders like aria2, so I like to avoid them. Merging two formats is ok (so I don't want -f best
). What should I use for -f
?

1@karel No, that question seems completely irrelevant. I want to select the best available format that does not use DASH. – HappyFace Jun 01 '20 at 13:08

-f '(bestvideo+bestaudio/best)[protocol^=http]'
only includes formats that are downloadable by http(s).
