SVT Play have now 5.1 sound in some shows. How can I get it?

[Thoxxx]

svtplay-dl versions:

Run svtplay-dl --version

Operating system and Python version:

Name and version of the operating system and python version (run python --version)

What is the issue:

Always include the URL you want to download and all switches you are using. You should also add --verbose because it makes it much easier for use to find the issue :)

svtplay-dl --verbose https://www.example.com

[UWTD]

Unpack the rar and make the command in the folder the svtplay-dl is in. You can use terminal instead of powershell

I placed the svtplay-dl file in my user folder These are the results:

I tried also to write python3 to use the latest version. Is that right?

[SYSophie]

@Thoxxx please note that svtplay-dl requires that certain modules are pre-installed to work https://github.com/spaam/svtplay-dl/blob/master/README.md#from-source

In this text you will also see which python version is the lowest requirement.

In addition bs4 is a required module as you can see you get an error message this one is missing

It's working now! Thank you I have to write: python3 svtplay-dl URL Only 'python' points to the built in Python 2.7

But the file is not playable in QuickTime, same problem as with youtube.dl Any ideas? Has to do with the merging, the mp4 plays if I 'grab' it before the merge

[UWTD]

From youtube-dl more than QuickTime have problems in some cases. But i can't see why QuickTime have problem with this merge. Is it the audio? Can you play the audio only file before merge in QuickTime?

[Thoxxx]

No, I can't play the m4a in QT player, but in VLC The mp4 is OK before the merge

[UWTD]

Can you play other ac3 coded files in QT?

[Thoxxx]

That's probably it! It plays 5.1 AAC but not ac3 I think it's a QuickTime Player thing

2.5 have support it. it will download the file by default. use --format-preferred to choose what you want..
