Feature request: Download audio section only for youtube #63

Closed duytrung closed 4 years ago

Hello,

I found it possible to download the audio in *.dash format when download clips from Youtube using Jdownloader. Is it possible to implement a function to download audio only with YDL-UI? JDownload is very bulky with JRE and stuffs. So I do not prefer to use the program otherwise Thank you very much and hope to hear from you soon.

An option for audio only already exists in YDL-UI.

I'm unsure about downloading dash files, you could try using a custom format selector (Uncheck Basic Mode -> Quality Tab -> Custom Format Selector)

e.g. A selector like bestaudio combined with a protocol filter might work.

Closing for now.

Unless this feature is supported in youtube-dl, it can't be implemented in YDL-UI.
