Description

There are many videos in youtube that have multilingual title(Ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJsMCfrGdK8). But there is not any feature that select language. I tryed using --add-header to add Accept-Language header and Content-Language header, but it didn't work. I think it would be good if you could make this feature.

i believe the issue is still open - https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/10758

Coder-Iro commented 3 years ago

I saw that. But there is no activity on that issue anymore.

It's definitely possible to add such feature. This would require a second download of the youtube page for that video with changed hl and gl queries. So that on this site the title will be extracted. It cannot be done with a single download since most of the logic depends on the english layout.

Maybe we can do this with youtube data api

It may work. But you will need api token and as far as I know the youtube api is super restrictive (low daily limits). If you mean the official one by google. So it would likely be easier to scrap it directly in yt-dlc.

the youtube.py has a _call_api function. But it is never referenced anywhere so I'm not sure if it even works

How about let users enter their own API tokens like rsync?

I think that function is youtube data api v1. The currently used api is v3.

Still WIP?
