[Feature Request] Quiet mode combined with progress/current job state about yt-dlp HOT 4 CLOSED

The printing functions of youtube-dl are all over the place (and needs refactoring). I wouldn't know where to even start to implement this.

Maybe someone else will be interested in implementing this. If not, I will get back to this once I am done with all the other projects

from yt-dlp.

I forgot to link this issue with #1125. But since that PR, you can use --quiet --progress to show progress bar in quiet mode

from yt-dlp.

Hi @pukkandan thanks for implementing this fix. Now, when I call on yt-dlp in a Python script, and set quiet=True in the ydl_opts dictionary, a progress bar will still show up despite quiet=True (I did not specify progress). Could you make it so that:

1. If quiet=True and progress=True, then a progress bar is shown
2. Else if quiet=True and progress=False or progress is not specified, then a progress bar is not shown?

from yt-dlp.

The default of noprogress is False. Set noprogress=True to not show progress bar

I will see if I can tie the default of noprogress to quiet since progress doesnt show in youtube-dl when quiet
