This is expected.
Hello there, I'm developing a mpv & youtube-dl front-end. AFAIK, mpv only except an URL as input, so is there anyway I can get the URL from on entry of a flat playlist (e.g. {"url": "LMHfD1B78G0", "_type": "url", "ie_key": "Youtube", "id": "LMHfD1B78G0", "title": "An Annual Re-Review of Rainbow Six: Siege"}
) w/o redownloading the webpage? I found YoutubeDL.extract_info
but that is really slow on bad internet connection.
Make sure you are using the latest version: run
youtube-dl --version
and ensure your version is 2017.04.26. If it's not read this FAQ entry and update. Issues with outdated version will be rejected.Before submitting an issue make sure you have:
What is the purpose of your issue?
If the purpose of this issue is a bug report, site support request or you are not completely sure provide the full verbose output as follows:
Add
-v
flag to your command line you run youtube-dl with, copy the whole output and insert it here. It should look similar to one below (replace it with your log inserted between triple ```):Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information
When using
--dump-single-json --flat-playlist
on a Youtube playlist, theurl
of entries seems to be only the ID instead of the full URL. It works correctly on other websites like Vimeo.
