Looks like yt_song inherits both audio_extract to mp3 and file_convert to mp4, which is why things are getting messed up. For yt_song, I would not inherit from yt_channel and instead build the preset to be completely separate. file_convert gets inherited from the prebuilt preset plex_tv_show_by_date

[jmbannon]

And impressive config btw! Glad you were able to get this far with the current documentation

Closing this issue in favor of https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/421 Feel free to reopen if the problem still persists after fixing audio_extract + file_convert

[jcreek]

Thank you very much for your reply, sorry for the delay with mine! This has solved the issue :)

@jcreek !is_live is now a default.
