Support H.264 as default #313

Closed hctrr closed 10 months ago

hctrr commented 10 months ago

Both 07 and 08 releases download the video as vp9 over the ~06 release of H.264 Quality: 1080p Format: MP4

Any support to revert to H.264?

PikuZheng commented 10 months ago

according this, maybe set YTDL_OPTIONS={"format":"h264"} will help (my guess)

in my case YTDL_OPTIONS={"format_sort": ["codec:avc:m4a"]} did revert back to h264 mp4 downloads. not sure if it's universal tho

thank you for the share.

I tried with the most recent release (2023-08-19) but it looks like it's still downloading as vp9. I'll look into the YTDL_OPTIONS to see possible alternatives.

this did the trick. the catch was there was a space in the initial code share : [

working value: YTDL_OPTIONS={"format_sort":["codec:avc:m4a"]}

I'll be testing the "format_sort_force" option, but overall the code snippet from @ArabCoders does the trick.
