Audio track cannot be selected

[Neko-22]

When trying to watch a video with multiple audio tracks, mov-cli-youtube only seems to grab one random audio track without any ability to swap between tracks. Is there any way that a feature to grab all available audio tracks can be implemented?

Hey,

Sorry for the late response.

Were you using pytube or yt-dlp?

[Neko-22]

yt-dlp. Thanks for a reply at all, I don't mind waiting a bit if it means I can get assistance!

This feature can probably be added.

What video did you try playing, I completely forgot youtube videos could even have different audios.

The main one I tried was a Tom Scott video on why audio doesn’t match subtitles. The video was in French while the subtitles were English.On Jul 11, 2024, at 11:09 AM, Goldy @.***> wrote: What video did you try playing, I completely forgot youtube videos could even have different audios.

Alright thanks I was able to reproduce that. Will look into it soon. 👍

However, for the time being you can use pytube as an alternative (make sure it's up to date though, pip install pytubefix -U):

mov-cli -s youtube.pytube {query}

First I would like to apologize for the very very late completion of this issue.

This issue has been fixed in 1.3.4 which will be released soon, however the fix is partial; if a video has more than one audio track it won't display all of those audio tracks but instead it will attempt to grab the first audio track relevant to your current set language.

The reason of this implementation is because currently mov-cli doesn't support multiple audio track urls. Hopefully one day I find the time to add support for that in the main code-base ideally without bringing breaking changes. Once I do I'll change this implementation to return all the audio tracks with preferred language as priority.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

No worries, a late fix is better than no fix! I also am not surprised that mov-cli doesn't support multiple audio tracks, that's quite a rare feature. Thank you so much!
