The way subtitles are embedded in Areena streams has been changed, and ffmpeg is having problems with the subtitles after the change. On live streams, ffmpeg keeps downloading just the subtitles but not video or audio.
I'm looking for a proper fix, but in the meantime here's an workaround:
--sublang none
, e.g. yle-dl --sublang none https://areena.yle.fi/tv/suorat/yle-tv1
This will download the stream, but there will be no subtitles, obviously.
I haven't been able to find a fix. My current guess is that this is something that would need be fixed in ffmpeg.
I just released a new version 20220213 that disables subtitles on live streams always (even without --sublang none
). That way it's at least possible to download live streams without subtitles.
Tried to watch some Olympic Games live streams with yle-dl. It seems to not output any streams.
Here's a debug output (I removed most timestamp lines from below. Full log is 5 MB: yle-dl-live.zip):
