It's currently impossible with youtube-dl. See #6497 and #6501.

thank you bro, but i thought that i can disable some hosts by using /etc/youtube-dl.conf file !
i'm using HTML GUI from so i guess i can disable some by using php (array function )

Disable extractors via configuration files is not implemented yet. So far you can remove some lines from youtube_dl/extractor/extractors.py

You can disable videos restricted to age 18 and above by passing in --age-limit 17 in /etc/youtube-dl.conf. That is by far the most sensible solution, and does cover pornographic videos from hosts that are not exclusively distributing pornography such as YouTube. It even allows you a more fine-grained control. For instance, if you deploy youtube-dl in a school with kids as young as 13, pass in --age-limit 12 to ensure that they don't get videos unsuitable for their age.

That depends. If you download youtube-dl via wget or curl, you need to extract all files with unzip, modify them and re-package all files with zip again. If you use pip, pip show youtube-dl | grep Location will tell you where it is.

Actually you've found it: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/youtube_dl

You need to remove lines with youtube from extractors.py as well. Note that a few other extractors depend on youtube.py, so you may want to remove them all.
