Question: Download problems #429

Open Maligola opened 4 years ago

Maligola commented 4 years ago

GUI 0.4 OS: Windows 7

Problem: Videos from www.dmax.de only in 1080p

I want the files in 540p

If I leave the default setting, the videos can be loaded in 1080p. But if I set GUI -> Options -> Extra "--all-formats" I get all other available resolutions loaded, but without sound. But as soon as I type -f 'bestvideo[height<=540]+bestaudio/best[height<=540]' in gui-> Extra i get an error and the log shows: ERROR: requested format not available.

Can you help me? Its a problem with the homepage or do i something wrong?

thx

If you want 1080p videos, you need to install ffmpeg.

youtube-dl can't cope with 1080p without ffmpeg.

i have ffmpeg installed, does the software recognize it automatically or do i have to make some changes in options?

axcore commented 4 years ago

youtube-dl, not youtube-dl-gui, checks whether ffmpeg exists or not. There are no options to change.
