Add in Ytdlp-interface a special section "Merge audio with video" to combine and merge video only with audio only of downloaded streaming file with vital preset : " ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i audio.mkv -c copy output.mkv " to get a normal stream ! #183

Hello, thank you for this amazing downloader ! 💯 🥇

so the video I'm trying to download is not heavy, just 50mb, so the second media player (MOON READER) in this site:

https://v5.voiranime.com/anime/mobile-suit-gundam-seed -vf/mobile-suit-gundam-seed-20-vf/

usually using extensions like Live Stream Downloader or Cat-Catch, I get a maste.m3u8 stream and the downloaded file contains video with audio, but this streaming platform seems to make modifications recently and sadly, we can't any more download file with audio and video merged combined..... but let's note my interesting awesome discover , i tired to preview with Open-in vlc extension but it doesn 't work, so i go to vlc advanced settings and i go to gnu tls priority enryption and i choose performance priority to fast enryption and preview works with vlc !!

this streaming platform is very important, even if it disappointed me because since the beginning of the summer, recent streaming videos only display 1080p quality which is a serious problem for my eee pc windows 7 32 bits, this platform still has several old videos of anime episodes before summer 2024 with 480p quality and precisely, I am currently downloading several old anime episodes and the standard video quality allows me to download at lightning speed with our beloved Ytdlp-interface because when I encounter download problems in the extensions, I copy paste the m3u8 stream into Ytdlp-interface and download it successfully! 💯 🥇

But now it seems that streaming sites will separate the audio from the video and it becomes impossible to download the master stream .m3u8 with merged video with audio, I spoke about this problem to Mr Chandler the developer of Live Stream Downloader :

https://github.com/chandler-stimson/live-stream-downloader

so Mr Chandler explained and advised me :

"This is not a bug. The website offers video-only and audio-only streams. You need to download both. Then use

ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i audio.mkv -c copy output.mkv to get a normal stream.

Also you can start playing "video.mkv" in VLC and add audio track to it ( for some streams it is not supported). "

so me and probably many others are not experts and we do not know how to use ffmpeg command lines and how merge audio with video.....

same for Cat-catch, we have video file without audio..... https://github.com/xifangczy/cat-catch

so our dream please is that our beloved Ytdlp-interface, since Ytdlp-interface integrates ffmpeg, our request please is that Ytdlp-interface can combine and merge video only stream with audio-only stream to get a video file with audio merged, maybe by adding in Ytdlp-interface a special section "merge audio with video" and adding automatically or manually these important vital presets:

ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i audio.mkv -c copy output.mkv

in order to fix this major download problem because I think many streaming sites will now separate audio from video and it will become a challenge and a major download problematic !

Thanks a lot :)
