256kb AAC Audio? #205

Closed mysteryx93 closed 5 years ago

mysteryx93 commented 5 years ago

YouTube used to have 256kbps AAC audio stream hidden in his DASH manifest file, which most downloaders are not parsing. Lately I also realized I couldn't get that 256kbps AAC file anymore.

I just wanted to confirm. Has YouTube removed that file stream, or is YoutubeExplode just not parsing it?

What was the last version you were able to get that stream with? Does it still work if you downgrade?

I don't know, I was using another downloader library before and modified it to parse the MASH manifest to access that audio stream. I believe your package was also returning that stream but now it's not available anymore. I'm not exactly sure whether YouTube dropped support for it or your library just isn't returning it. What I do know is that it wasn't in the standard list of streams and had to be digged into the DASH manifest file.

I looked through commit history and couldn't find anything that could affect it, so I guess Google either removed it or it's temporarily unavailable.
