Hi, @RblSb! First of all, thank you for your job! It works like a charm with ifames and mp4 videos. Now i have no problem to sync video with my girlfriend!) Keep same way :)

But a like to download some videos from different sources, And some times it's only mkv\avi is available. Is it possible to add mkv\avi support for your SyncTube ?)

Thank you in advance!

Sadly there is no browser support for these containers, so you need to convert them with ffmpeg or similar tool for yourself first. https://opensource.com/article/17/6/ffmpeg-convert-media-file-formats If video has supported in web codecs, you can recreate mkv/avi containers to mp4 with tools like ffmpeg or mkvtomp4, instead of re-rendering video.
