Describe your issue

I use Alltube as a libaray to get pornhub videos . But recently I found that when I get a pornhub video by website(Alltube website I bulit),I can get a 'mp4' file, but I can only get 'm3u8' file while using it as a function.

my Alltube website: https://52proxy.fun/ytb/

[ch4rc0al1080]

When I use Alltube as a library.I use this options

Config::setOptions(
    [
        'youtubedl' => '/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl',
        'python'    => '/usr/bin/python3',
        'params'    => array("--no-warnings","--ignore-errors","--flat-playlist","--restrict-filenames","--no-playlist"),

    ]
);

And I try to get specific videos by using

$video = new Video($url, 'mp4');

[ch4rc0al1080]

I found an interesting fact. If I use Alltube website JSON API to get json, the url will be a mp4 file But if I use function getJson() , I will get m3u8 file

Hello, Would it be possible to provide a SFW video that reproduces the issue?

M3U8 is not a real video format, it is a playlist format that only contains references to video files located elsewhere. There is usually no point in just downloading the M3U8 file by itself, so if stream mode is enabled, Alltube will fetch the real video stream for you: https://github.com/Rudloff/alltube/blob/acc63a536e72709f8d8043b06652e3a92ddb10bb/controllers/DownloadController.php#L167 So if you want to do the same thing with the library, you probably need to use getM3uStream().

[ch4rc0al1080]

I will provide the url later, but I think I have fixed how to get a mp4 url -f mp4 is not right. It should be -f 720p

[ch4rc0al1080]

About providing a SFW video, I just found the problem on pornhub by now...

I will provide the url later, but I think I have fixed how to get a mp4 url -f mp4 is not right. It should be -f 720p

Hello, Where to put '-f 720p' to get 720p link? With default settings it shows link to .m3u8

[ch4rc0al1080]

Hello, Where to put '-f 720p' to get 720p link? With default settings it shows link to .m3u8

like this

$video = new Video($url, "720p");

Thank you, it works.

For youtube-dl I can use '[height<=720]' command. youtube-dl -g -f '[height<=720]' URL This command will give a link no higher than 720p resolution

For example if video have 1080p it will show 720p If 720p -> 720p If 480p -> 480p

How can I use this command or something like this?

According to the code, I found that you can use $video = new Video($url, "[height<=720]") , because

$video = new Video($url, $format);
$video_url = $video->getUrl();

will run as

youtube-dl -g -f $format $url

May be it will be better if @Rudloff will be so nice to add more information in README

[sam9177]

Thank you!
