[BUG] videos from subscribed channels aren’t playable #958

Open famousbart opened 1 year ago

famousbart commented 1 year ago

Hi, I’m running YouTube -DL on a Docker Container on my Synology NAS (DS220+) Everything is working perfectly. Videolinks you paste in the download field manually download without problems. Also videos from subscribed YouTube channels become automatically downloaded, exactly as they should. BUT the videos from subscribed channels, aren’t playable from mobile devices like iPhone oder iPad. Also it doesn’t matter which browser you are using. It’s not working with safari, chrome and Firefox. On my desktop pc its working fine and every downloaded video is playable and it doesn’t matter if that video was downloaded manually or automatically due a subscription

On videos which doesn’t work on mobile devices the following picture is shown. IMG_2454

What could be the reason for such a random issue?

I met same issue, looks like some videos using certain encoding can't be played, like AV1

famousbart commented 1 year ago

I'm not sure if it's related to that. Because when I reload on the iPad or iPhone, the playback works. If the video format were wrong in subscription mode, the playback should not work, should it?

I'm having this exact problem as well. Is there any work around for it?

+1. I downloaded several videos. None of them can be played in IOS safari.

@Tzahi12345 Can help to take a look this issue? Thanks! Or is there any one can play video in IOS device? Don't know its common issue.

Again you must ensure what video type is downloaded, afaik most common on youtube right now are VP9 and mp4 profile 10. Is it likely a VP9 video that afaik apple is not included yet on mobile? HEVC also had same issue.

can add option to auto convert video type to ios supportable?
