Create fragmented mp4 files for Mediathek downloads #12154

Closed madduck closed 7 years ago

Before submitting an issue make sure you have:

What is the purpose of your issue?

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

If youtube-dl downloads a file from the Mediathek (extractor/ard.py), it creates a so-called non-fragmented mp4 file, which cannot be played unless it is fully downloaded.

it'd be better if youtube-dl could repack the file creating fragmented mp4. Please see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8616855/how-to-output-fragmented-mp4-with-ffmpeg for information on how this can be achieved using ffmpeg.

Explanation of your issue in arbitrary form goes here. Please make sure the description is worded well enough to be understood. Provide as much context and examples as possible. If work on your issue requires account credentials please provide them or explain how one can obtain them.

Coud you give an example video URL?

Of course, though they are often only valid for a few days:

http://www.ardmediathek.de/tv/Tatort/Vorschau-auf-Tatort-Land-in-dieser-Zei/Das-Erste/Video?bcastId=602916&documentId=39711304

This is also just a short film. If you need a longer one, try this:

which cannot be played unless it is fully downloaded

Try this:

youtube-dl -v "http://www.ardmediathek.de/tv/Tatort/Hinter-dem-Spiegel/Das-Erste/Video?bcastId=602916&documentId=40609022" --hls-use-mpegts

This seems to work, indeed. Is there a way to make this default for a site?

yan12125 commented 7 years ago

Site-specific options is still on its way: #8901. --hls-use-mpegts brings no harm unless you're using quite old video players. You may want to just put it in global configuration files.

Closing as the request feature is already implemented.

Thanks, already done!
