From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The following numeric meta fields can be used with comparisons <, <=, >, >=, = (equals), != (not equals):
filesize: The number of bytes, if known in advance
filesize_approx: An estimate for the number of bytes
width: Width of the video, if known
height: Height of the video, if known
aspect_ratio: Aspect ratio of the video, if known
So a height<=1080 should be it.
Taken from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp. Replace 480 with 1080. Multiple options in the documentation to choose from.
Download the best video available with the largest height but no better than 480p, or the best video with the smallest resolution if there is no video under 480p
$ yt-dlp -S "height:480"
Others have given good examples for formats you were aiming for.
For bulk download, simply create a list.txt file in your target directory, bulk add all urls in separate lines. Then
Yt-dlp list.txt {your options here}
It is noteworthy that, instead of listing urls manually, you can also grab entire playlists from relevant platforms if that’s what you’re after, including preserving the playlist names as directory names. Same even goes for entire channels.
an approach I wasn't aware of. thanks
