Is there a way to get file download progress in the terminal. The --console-title shows the progress and displays progress details in title.

youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-quality 0 --console-title --audio-format mp3 <url>

But i want those details as an output in terminal and not in the title

eg: a="hello"; echo $a

is this possible

The progress is properly outputted to the terminal, could you post the output you get and the way you want to process it?

Generally, you should use an API. I see little sense overcomplexing progress output with template similar to -o.

Currently you have the option to parse the youtube-dl output or use the python api as @dstftw has mentioned. I'm closing this issue as a duplicate of #152, if we implement it we would offer the download progress as a json output.
