  -l, --log             create logfile
  -c COOKIE_FILE, --input-cookie-file COOKIE_FILE
                        cookies file in the Netscape format. The specs of the
                        Netscape cookies format can be found here:
                        https://curl.se/docs/http-cookies.html. The cookies
                        file is now required due to the Twitter API change
                        that prohibited guest user access to Twitter API
                        endpoints on 2023-07-01.

input:
  -i SPACE_URL, --input-url SPACE_URL
  -U USER_URL, --user-url USER_URL
  -d DYN_URL, --from-dynamic-url DYN_URL
                        use the dynamic url for the processes(useful for ended
                        spaces) example: https://prod-fastly-ap-northeast-

  -f URL, --from-master-url URL
                        use the master url for the processes(useful for ended
                        spaces) example: https://prod-fastly-ap-northeast-

  -M PATH, --input-metadata PATH
                        use a metadata json file instead of input url (useful
                        for very old ended spaces)

output:
  -o FORMAT_STR, --output FORMAT_STR
  -m, --write-metadata  write the full metadata json to a file
  -p, --write-playlist  write the m3u8 used to download the stream(e.g. if you
                        want to use another downloader)
  -u, --url             display the master url
  --write-url URL_OUTPUT
                        write master url to file
  -e, --embed-cover     embed user avatar as cover art
```

## Format

You can use the following identifiers for the formatting

```python
%(title)s
%(id)s
%(start_date)s
%(creator_name)s
%(creator_screen_name)s
%(url)s
%(creator_id)s
```

Example: `[%(creator_screen_name)s]-%(title)s|%(start_date)s`

## Known Errors

`Changing ID3 metadata in HLS audio elementary stream is not implemented....`

This is an error in ffmpeg that does not affect twspace_dl at all as far as I know.

## Service

To run as a systemd service please refer to https://github.com/HoloArchivists/twspace-dl/blob/main/SERVICE.md
