Correct way to specify "best" format #81

Closed Xalaxis closed 1 year ago

Xalaxis commented 1 year ago

Hi there,

I was having a look at the use of the "youtubedl_quality" paramater and wondering the best way to specify "highest resolution available", essentially the default mode of yt-dlp? From what I understand from the usage in the code, this is actually the minimum resolution?

Hi Xalaxis :)

No the youtubedl_quality number gets used as the highest possible vertical resolution that is allowed to be downloaded.

You can see the 'format' that is used here: https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl/blob/master/root/config.default/format

And you see the height<=youtubedl_quality, height equals or less than the variable.

If you wish to download the highest available you could define your own format in your args.conf. Or Just make youtubedl_quality an unreasonably large number like 9000 or something.

Perfect, thanks for the info!

Thanks also for developing this - I had my own version of this concept started a while ago, but it needed several fixes, ideally a change to yt-dlp from og youtube-dl etc. This project seems like exactly what I'd planned on making!

Wishing you a Happy New Year 🎉
