Specifying the download location ...

[thisguyshouldworkforus]

How do I specify the target download directory for the Audio/Video objects?

Despite the code below, I cannot seem to change either the download filename

• desired name would be yt.publish_date.audio.webm // yt.publish_date.video.webm

Or the target download directory

• desired path would be /opt/projects/mytube/downloads as I tried to input to the helper function, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

    pytubefix.helpers.target_directory('/opt/projects/mytube/downloads')
    
    yt = pytubefix.YouTube(str(VIDEO), use_oauth=True, allow_oauth_cache=True)
    
    # Construct the Audio Object
    yta = yt.streams.filter(adaptive=True, mime_type="audio/webm", abr="160kbps").first().download()
    
    # Construct the Video Object
    ytv = yt.streams.filter(adaptive=True, mime_type="video/webm",res="1080p",).first().download()

Any / all help on this topic would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

try:

    from pytubefix import YouTube
    
    file_path = '/opt/projects/mytube/downloads'
    VIDEO = "url here"
        
    yt = YouTube(VIDEO, use_oauth=True, allow_oauth_cache=True)
        
    # Construct the Audio Object
    yta = yt.streams.filter(adaptive=True, mime_type="audio/webm"abr="160kbps").first().download(output_path=file_path)
        
    # Construct the Video Object
    ytv = yt.streams.filter(adaptive=True, mime_type="video/  webm",res="1080p",).first().download(output_path=file_path)

Yes, it wasn't until after I asked the question that I looked at the streams.py file itself. For whatever reason, VSCode never popped up the hint box to show the different parameters, so I was lost. But I quickly learned it was the output_path and filename that I failed to set.

So simple. Thank you for your great fork!
