Feature requests: A second "download options" text field for FFmpeg when using yt-dlp-ffmpeg #300

Closed metapea closed 7 months ago

FFmpeg has options as well and there's no way to used them, since the download options is only for yt-dlp. For the people using the yt-dlp-ffmpeg, it would nice to also have a text field for FFmpeg or use the "download options" text field and put "ffmpeg:" in the same text field to use FFmpeg I've seen users here having a hard time using FFmpeg in yt-dlp, so hopefuly this would make it easier.

It should be fine putting those ffmpeg in the "download options" text field.

This was made before finding out about the bug report for yt-dlp with the info for --use-postprocessor FFmpegCopyStream. Right now instead of copy and pasting FFmpegCopyStream, i still think it would be a nice optional qoe feature to have for convenience and other gui users, since just putting FFmpeg options with the yt-dlp-ffmpeg extension doesn't work. I don't think this is going to done soon since you can just put "--use-postprocessor", but the feature would be a nice thing to have later on.

Officially, you can download with yt-dlp using ffmpeg or aria2c, add an option for one and another person will ask for the same option for the other.

The "download option" text field should be good enough.
