If you try anything over 720p you're probably not going to get audio because it's MPEG-DASH, which has separate audio and video streams. Kodi was not able to play these type of streams until v17 and the addition of a binary add-on that adds this. I haven't investigated yet what is involved to take advantage of this.
thx for your quick reply,, this explains why there is only the video stream. i will investigate.
Example for Video with no audio
Booka Shade - Body Language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLNdBIRTNM4
if i try to play this url in chrome i also do not get any audio.
Example for a video where audio is working:
Windsurfing - Chop Hop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn3ebh3wkOA
when i do youtube-dl.exe -g i get the correct url and can play it in chrome
PS C:\Users\Tristan\Downloads> .\youtube-dl.exe -g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLNdBIRTNM4
seems there are always multiple urls to a video, most of them are DASH Audio only, but at the the end of the array there is also a version without DASH
issue is solved for me.
Hello,
i created a little kodi addon using youtube-dl: https://github.com/firsttris/plugin.video.sendtokodi
the addon should actually serve as JSON-RPC endpoint for our iOS App SendToKodi. But i also discovered that you can use it the create Playlist files. (m3u) see Issue #8
so far... everything is working well,.. unless...
for some reason most Youtube Stream have no Audio:
Video Decoder mmal-h264 (hw) Audio Stream: unkown, unkown, 0 bits, 0 Hz
When i download the Youtube Video using youtube-dl commandline tool and play it on kodi (locally) i get audio:
Video Decoder mmal-vp8 (HW) Audio Stream FL;FR vorbis 32 bits, 44 100 khz
Any thoughts ?
regards Tristan
