For me, it doesn't work with --codec flag either. So it must be something more generic?

[Gabri04]

I agree with you, it has to be a more generic problem

-m -c options work in version 1.9.7

Hello, I tried using the 1.9.7 version but it doesn't work. Probably outdated. Any suggestion?

[unMichalBak]

I can confirm the same problem with --code & --quality switches not working on Windows

[benzekat75]

hello probably a bug in the cmdline parser as I have the same issue with --no-db or -ndb or in fact... anything else :)

[unMichalBak]

yes, I know that's why it's reported as a bug :) but I can confirm that for example : rip -c mp3 url <ACTUALURL>
works correctly, also rip --codec mp3 url <ACTUALURL>
so it seems that docs/manual is providing incorrect info or the order of args has changed

dang thanks indeed works in the order you mentioned, I haven't even thought it could be that :)

[benzekat75]

in fact :

rip --help gives Usage: rip [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

and rip url --help gives Usage: rip url [OPTIONS] URLS..

it's minor then :)

[tannerbaum]

so it seems that docs/manual is providing incorrect info or the order of args has changed

The manual page found at rip url --help is up to date, the README and in turn github home page is out of date. What is confusing the situation is that users who are on older versions of the library will tell you these commands work fine. But indeed, --quality has been replaced with --max-quality.

[mortalis13]

Or I'm missing something or it's really confusing... First time using it, so I may be wrong, but...it seems very simple: rip --help tells about options --quality and --codec rip url --help has no options, apart from --help

Tested installing a version from pip and from the dev branch.

So --quality and --codec are options for rip directly, that go before url or any other command.

There's no --max-quality, neither before url not after. It's not in the code either.
Or it's a future idea to be changed in the code or a misdescription in the readme...

And you can use the options with and without a =. Basically, just follow the help text from the binary, it tells the correct options that were configured in the code.
