Question

When calling youtube-dl on a segmented HLS/DASH and specifying an external downloader (aria2c), it silently switches to ffmpeg, and passes it the --external-downloader-args intended for aria2. This has been referred to in this issue, which was closed as duplicate, but I couldn't find what it was a duplicate of, nor did the author. After searching issues for a while I now understand that aria2 does not support HLS or Segmented DASH, but shouldn't ytdl inform somehow before silently switching to ffmpeg?

The question is simply: If this is intended behaviour, should there not be some message? If there is more nuance to it, I've really really tried to find the issue this is a duplicate of.

@ 0x41mmarVM do you find a way to download multithreads this hls m3u8 file?

cgorlla commented 4 years ago

So, is anything planned for this? I'm still experiencing this issue. Aria2 will hand something off to ffmpeg then ffmpeg tries to parse the -ext-dl-args meant for Aria.

@shadowzoom No, no solution found. That said, I wasn’t looking for a solution, I just wanted a message in the log telling me that ffmpeg was subbed in, so that I don’t spend an hour messing with command switches and trying to understand why aria2c doesn’t understand my request. The silent switching was a bit mean.

I think I found the duplicate, #10784, but only @dstftw can confirm that one is it?

Oh hey, that looks right. Sad it’s still open. I’ve added it in the description so people find it easier.
