More download options #2433

This was requested back in 2015 but nothing has happened? I'd like to re-request it as I'd very much like download options for everything above 720p.

"The human eye cannot see any difference above 720p" :eye: but seriously, it's been a long time, and there is no option to download 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p. I am curious why, there must be some reason. Hopefully it can be added please.

YePpHa commented 7 years ago

There's a reason I haven't added those qualities. The reason the available qualities are available are because they're non-DASH formats. The other formats 1080p, 1440p, 2160p and etc. are all DASH formats that can't just be downloaded. I would probably be able to do it, but it will take a ton of time (that I kind of don't have).

If you really want to download your videos in glorious 4k 60fps go check out youtube-dl, which is a Python program that can download all videos from YouTube including other sites.

Thanks for taking the time to explain, and for the useful tips too. :)

Seems like I was slightly wrong. YouTube have changed some things since I last took a look and I was able to download a video in 1080p without needing to transcode anything. However, I'm not sure if that's the case for all the qualities or if some of them still require me to transcode the mpd file.

YePpHa commented 7 years ago

Okay, seems like the video I downloaded don't have audio. So I still need to transcode the video and audio into a single file.

what if you change "MP3 Services" to "Download Services" and it can include a list of sites for video saving in addition to audio. much less trouble for you that way. something like this: https://i.imgur.com/Gn1e4i7.png
