Some questions about yt-dlp (mander.xyz)

Can I have some help regarding using yt-dlp.

  1. How to select a specific duration of video to be downloaded like from 00 to 600 seconds in video of 8 hours.
  2. When downloading songs from youtube with metadata and thumbnail I get thumbnails in rectangular shape instead of square. How to turn them square?

Asking it here cause, Discussion on repository is closed and it is FOSS software.

  1. There is the --download-sections option. Looking at it, you might want to use --download-sections "*0:00-1:00".
  2. I briefly checked with --list-thumbnails and it doesn't look like YouTube offers any square ones, so I would look into using ImageMagick to edit the image with a command. I doubt yt-dlp allows you to do any sort of image manipulation out of the box.
