// Destination directory
String directory = System.getProperty("user.home");

// Build request
YtDlpRequest request = new YtDlpRequest(videoUrl, directory);
request.setOption("ignore-errors");		// --ignore-errors
request.setOption("output", "%(id)s");	// --output "%(id)s"

...
YtDlpResponse response = YtDlp.execute(request, new DownloadProgressCallback() {
          @Override
          public void onProgressUpdate(float progress, long etaInSeconds) {
              System.out.println(String.valueOf(progress) + "%");
          }
      });
