The value may also contain the reserved keyword croak which will cause libquvi(3) to exit with an error when reached.

The first available subtitle language will be chosen if nothing matched the PATTERN

config: core.subtitle-language=<PATTERN[,PATTERN,...]>

The value may contain the following reserved keywords:

The best quality is determined by the libquvi-scripts(7) by comparing the media quality properties, e.g. the video height property, although the actual method may vary depending on the data provided by the media hosting service.

The first available stream is selected if nothing matched

%s  Media property: start time (ms)

[1]: The file extension is parsed from the HTTP content-type header.


     quvi-get(1) replaces this sequence with HTTP media streams only.


     quvi-dump(2) replaces it only when --query-metainfo is used with


     HTTP media streams.

[2]: This sequence is unique to quvi-get(1)

This option may be specified multiple times. In the quvirc(5) file, specify the commands in a comma-separated list.

config: exec.external=<COMMAND[,COMMAND,...]>

The PATTERN will be used to match/replace all occurences — this is similar to the g modifier of Perl. The option supports the m// (match, m is optional) operation and the s/// substitution operation.

The syntax is similar to Perl-syntax except that this option expects a leading "property sequence" that specifies the media property to apply the regex PATTERN against. See the section called “Exec” for a complete list of the supported "property sequences".

This option may be specified multiple times. Inside the quvirc(5) file, specify the PATTERNs in a comma-separated list. Double any backslashes inside the quvirc(5) in the PATTERN.

The command applies the following PATTERNs by default:

%t:/\w|\s/
%t:s/\s\s+/ /
%t:s/^\s+//
%t:s/\s+$//

config: get.output-regex=<PATTERN[,PATTERN,...]>

config: get.output-name=<FORMAT>

config: get.output-dir=<DIR>

If the value is >=0, the command will send an HEAD request to the HTTP server to query the content-{type,length} values. These are used to build the output filename and to determine whether the transfer should be resumed; the content-length value is compared to the local file length to determine whether transfer should resume.

Use of a negative value (<0) will cause the command to disable resuming completely causing the command to skip the step that sends the HEAD request to the HTTP server, and start the transfer from the 0 offset, and effectively, overwriting the existing file. The content-{type,length} values are parsed from the returned HTTP GET response, instead.

Technical: libcurl requires setting CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE before ‘curl_easy_perform’ is called. The the command has no way of knowing whether the transfer should be resumed if ‘content-length’ is not queried by sending a HTTP HEAD request before the transfer begins. A possible workaround is to specify from which offset the transfer should continue, but this requires that the user determines the value by hand.
