encode.lua can't encode streams #7

Closed dardo82 closed 6 years ago

Can it work with streams too? http://gist.github.com/dardo82/63bdd3e1b2a8566e73367881acf452b3 For example with YouTube using something similar to my own shell script for downloading just a part of a video that bases the name of the output file on the id and time range or maybe even better the title?

Another direction we could take is use mpv's encoding capabilities directly and we would then benefit from the youtube-dl integration. It might also make #4 possible, but I need to take a look at what's possible with regards to tracks, filters, etc.

Ok so mpv's encoding is too restrictive, we can't copy streams or handle subtitles properly so I don't want to switch. Also it doesn't keep briightness/contrast/... settings. I suppose we can combine youtube-dl and ffmpeg to download the extract and reencode it, I'll look into that.

occivink commented 6 years ago

I dug around a bit and there is actually a property for the URL that we get back from youtube-dl, so it was just a matter of passing that to ffmpeg instead of the filepath. I've pushed some small changes that I tried with youtube and vimeo and it seems to work fine. Naturally, livestreams won't work.

You pushed it where? Not here…

It's 79db9ef430f06e468f5f4149b0ab8b6db6b43981, the changes are deceptively small

Now it quite make sense, thanks!

occivink commented 6 years ago

Let me know if you're missing anything.

dardo82 commented 6 years ago

If I try it again I will let you know if I have some questions.
