Pass arguments to ffmpeg #29074

Question

Is it possible to pass arguments to ffmpeg directly from youtube-dl cli?

I did some search, and have found one example in the python code level, but I'm wondering if it is possible from youtube-dl cli.

The use case is, for --extract-audio to convert video files to audio-only files, or doing audio-only downloading, it'll be super if I can increase the audio volume using ffmpeg option on the fly, instead of me doing it again afterwards.

I don't know if it is even possible, so I'm just asking. thx

--postprocessor-args

suntong commented 3 years ago

Thanks.

Just even having used -v I cannot really tell if my option has been passed to ffmpeg or not. Anyway, thanks.

--postprocessor-args

Hey @pukkandan but using this nothing is being passed after using -v for verbosity.

suntong commented 2 years ago

Agree, nothing is being passed.

Thanks the for the confirmation, thus, reopening the issue.

Please provide the verbose log.

I am trying to download a video, but the audio is empty, so I wanted to set analyzeduration and probesize higher (as recommended), to a value referenced here. I assumed that it should be able to do that with --postprocessor-args, which it seems does not work.

I executed following command (Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL2): youtube-dl https://URL_REPLACED/video_1629/1806/1806.m3u8 --postprocessor-args "-analyzeduration 2147483647 -probesize 2147483647" -v

Respective result @kikuyan:

@UliGall In your case, ffmpeg IS downloading, not post-processing. You can pass arguments with --external-downloader-args.

FYI. There's a --hls-prefer-native option to make youtube-dl itself download HLS. However, using --hls-prefer-native and --postprocessor-args will give the same result as downloading with ffmpeg in your case. This is because youtube-dl is passing arguments to ffmpeg after input files.

Thanks @kikuyan, that solved (at least) my problem!
