svtplay - why muxing working ts files to mp4? #822

Open Sopor opened 6 years ago

Sopor commented 6 years ago

Why muxing ts files to mp4 on SVTPlay? When doing this it takes much more time and the bitrate of the file will also decrease. I was trying to download HDS files but that didn't worked but as you can see it is available

ERROR: Streams not available to download.

I would like to be able to disable muxing on sites that are not require it.

because of your ticket #665, this other one #601 and this #794

But it is not all the sites that require this. That is why i ask. I don't think SVT needs it. I downloaded the episode from issue #794 and i can play it in VLC, MPC HomeCinema, WMP and Kodi without doing anything with the file. What i know, it is only Viafree that requires this muxing. So i would love to see a switch (--noremux) that will disable muxing.
