Problem with video format #3

Closed no-e-in closed 2 weeks ago

no-e-in commented 2 weeks ago

I tried to download this video with type mp4 and audio format 'regular' and video format 480 (I tried all 3 options that the search provided). Unfortunately the video is not shown

I'm so sorry I just realized I forgot to add a "+" symbol in my code so only the audio format is downloaded when choosing only a custom video option. I will send out a fixed version soon.

Choosing two different formats or just the defaults work from what i've tested just now. Sorry about that.

The coding mistake btw:

Missing a '+': id2 + "[vcodec*="+vcodec+"]"+"ba/bv+ba"

What it should of been: id2 + "[vcodec*="+vcodec+"]"+"+ba/bv+ba"

I tried the new version. This time only 2 codecs at 480 appeared: the first 'av01.0.04m.08 - 397' completed the download after a few seconds with an incorrect result; the second codec 'avc1.4d401e - 135' completed the download of both audio and video with correct result.

Thank You for telling me!!! This is usually a common problem due to YouTube having so many formats and yt-dl not knowing which format will work on a user's media player. I'll make another version today. I recommend only using the codecs that start with "avc" which is the one that worked for you if it's available. I wouldn't use "av0" since it has been known to cause problems unless you have the codec support for it.
