In this example, `YDL_UPDATE_TIME=False` is the same as the command line option `--no-mtime`.


## Options

You can override some of the `youtube-dl` options via environment variables, e.g. by prepending them in Python CLI calls, or by defining them as Docker container parameters. The default options:

- `"YDL_FORMAT": "bestvideo+bestaudio/best"`
- `"YDL_EXTRACT_AUDIO_FORMAT": None`
- `"YDL_EXTRACT_AUDIO_QUALITY": "192"`
- `"YDL_RECODE_VIDEO_FORMAT": None`
- `"YDL_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE": "/youtube-dl/%(title).200s [%(id)s].%(ext)s"` (see [available parameters](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#output-template))
- `"YDL_ARCHIVE_FILE": None`
- `"YDL_SERVER_HOST": "0.0.0.0"`
- `"YDL_SERVER_PORT": 8080`
- `"YDL_UPDATE_TIME": "True"`
