2 years ago Thanks for trying to fix this but I guess the problem is dependant on the video source and therefore remains even in the new version. I'm including a screenshot of what's shown for: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/2061495/
As you can see, it shows nothing for the audio codec and although it does show the video bitrate, it doesn't show the codec. Hope this helps troubleshoot the problem. Thanks again!

2 years ago The UI does not show a lot of options because they are not available for that url, running yt-dlp directly gives the following output.

OK. I guess maybe why I was seeing a difference between versions of Media Downloader is because the old one was using the original youtube-dl engine and the new one is using the dlp engine?? Anyway, is it possible you can also get the latest version to show the audio bitrate in the Get List like it used to? It really is very helpful. The above video is a good example - see how the 1920x1080 variant shows 0k for the audio bitrate whereas the other resolutions show 127k... by seeing that in Get List it makes it possible to know the 1080 one is corrupt and won't play. I have confirmed this several times because it periodically happens with videos from this source and everytime one shows 0k for the audio bitrate, the downloaded file won't play.
Thank you for your help!!!

2 years ago With yt-dlp, earlier versions were taking the output as seen above and show it in the UI. The problem with this approach is that yt-dlp developer discourages using CLI outputs because they are unstable and they change without notice and i have observed about 3 changes with this output.
Newer versions of media downloader uses the recommended way and the received json based output shown below can be seen when you right click on the "Url to download" area and then choose "Show Log Window".
I have made changes and the UI now looks like below image and it should now be easier to see what entry has 0K value and what entry have a different value, if a value is not present then the reason is because yt-dlp did not produce it in its json based output.
To get the build with the fix, go here[1] and download a version with "MediaDownloader-dev-Feb-01-2022" in its name.

2 years ago New version is out: https://github.com/mhogomchungu/media-downloader/releases/tag/2.2.1
In the previous version I was using (1.5? I think) when using Get List, the note column would show the separate audio and video bitrates. This was really helpful for various reasons. Obviously to choose your preferred version but I also found it vital in getting vidoes from NHK due to some file versions will occasionally be corrupt and it was possible to immediately identify that by looking at the bitrates. But after upgrading to version 2.2, it is no longer showing the individual audio and video bitrates in Get List. Can you please return this functionality? Thank you!!!
