Controlling Logging

By default, llm-yt-transcript does not suppress logs from the yt-dlp library. You can control the logging behavior by setting the LLM_YT_LOG environment variable. For example:

export LLM_YT_LOG=verbose

Supported log modes are:

• verbose: Adds the --verbose argument to the yt-dlp command for detailed output.
• quiet: Adds the --quiet argument to suppress most output.
• default: No additional arguments are passed, using the default logging behavior of yt-dlp.

The default mode is default.

For more details on yt-dlp arguments, refer to the yt-dlp documentation.
