Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Hello,

Some podcasts on the website of https://www.franceinter.fr comes with video (webcam record during the interview). Currently, youtube-dl does only download the audio file (.mp3) of the podcast.

Would it be possible to download the video file too ?

Best regards, Nozalys.

I made a patch that extracts the Dailymotion embedded video (epostavs/youtube-dl@027a12c) but the problem is that it's not possible for the user to choose between the audio and the video. Ideally they would each be separate entries in the formats list, but the audio is from franceinter.fr and the video is from dailymotion.com, and currently it is not possible for an InfoExtractor to return multiple formats from different content providers.

You are doing it wrong. You must return a playlist.

[epostavs]

Seems odd to use a playlist when both items are really the same thing. That would work though.

[dstftw]

They are separate embeds thus must be extracted separately. As well as two more embeds from this page.

Hi there ! So... what about the integration of the final solution ? Is it something possible with respect to the youtube-dl philosophy or not ?

Regards, Nozalys
