issue cased by calling

youtube-dl.getInfo("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrD5JrW67t8", [], (error)=>{
  console.log(error);
}

where youtube-dl is the object provided by requiring this library

[macdja38]

After looking through the source I found the options object was passed through allowing the user to specify a maxBuffer size with

youtube-dl.getInfo("url", [], {maxBuffer: 1000*1024}, ()=>{})

I'm going to leave this open as I didn't see it in the readme or info example.

[EstebanFuentealba]

yes,
youtubedl("url" , ['--format=18'], { cwd: __dirname, maxBuffer: 1000*1024 });

@EstebanFuentealba i didn't see that in the relevant example or readme, where was it?

[EstebanFuentealba]

not mentioned, i read the code

[macdja38]

@EstebanFuentealba Ahh... Yea I mentioned that it is possible to specify the maxBuffer in the commend directly above that, and that I'm leaving this open as it's not documented while being necessary to fetch info for some you-tube videos.

I recommend maxBuffer: Infinity

[Mochlate]

What is the drawback to specifying maxBuffer infinity?

[wwooww]

@Mochlate Umm.. I has not faced yet...
