file format issues that were previously fine about ytdownloader HOT 30 CLOSED

1. By h264 I assume you meant AVC1. I did some tests and didn't find any problem, so you have to provide more details and steps to reproduce
2. What do you mean by that? The 'Preferred' formats are selected automatically once you get the video info.
3. Yes, not a bug
4. Yes, I am just displaying the items provided by Youtube, so not a bug

from ytdownloader.

my hardware isn't capable of AV1 and with so many identically labelled items its impractical to download randomly in the hope of finding h264.

but,. upon testing i discovered i get h264 when i select an option labelled "unknown size" so at least i can still use.

BTW h264 is the same as AVC1, that is what i meant, its much more commonly used, please think about using it.

2. here are my settings....(showing requested not being selected)

here are the 100+ options, including 10+ of the requested size....

Note: this is from the BBC, all are h264 and are all 'unknown size', so not issue 1. which is for YouTube.

1. In Preferences there is an option called show more options, it shows the codecs

from ytdownloader.

2. Please send me the video link

from ytdownloader.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001gp02/dynasties-macaque-monkeys-in-the-mountains-a-dynasties-special

this doesn't set 720p as default.

with the "show more options" i see 'avc3' maybe something to do with it?

from ytdownloader.

I found that there is a problem, working on it

from ytdownloader.

Let me know how it is in the latest update

from ytdownloader.

latest (.2) now shows requested size.

from ytdownloader.

....but still highlights the wrong codec, which is invisible without details being turned on.

What's your preferred video codec?

from ytdownloader.

maybe automatically turn on the details? when there is ambiguity.

from ytdownloader.

What's your preferred video codec?

not changed "avc1"

from ytdownloader.

I don't get it. Your preferred video codec is avc1, and program selects avc1 too. Where is the problem?

from ytdownloader.

I don't get it. Your preferred video codec is avc1, and program selects avc1 too. Where is the problem?

my image shows vp09 is selected
are you only looking at the drop down options showing avc1 is available?

from ytdownloader.

My bad, missed it.

Strange, fine on my side

from ytdownloader.

i suppose different regions might get different options.

what does your drop-down show?

from ytdownloader.

No, I have similar options

from ytdownloader.

Can you do a screen video showing you selecting avc1 codec in preferences and then getting video info?

from ytdownloader.

ummm,
i restarted and now get correct selected, which means its something not being reset between downloads.

from ytdownloader.

It should get correctly selected in between downloads

from ytdownloader.

yes, but it didn't.

from ytdownloader.

Maybe you were still using the old version

from ytdownloader.

See if there are still problems now, if not all is good

from ytdownloader.

Maybe you were still using the old version

no, updated last night.

from ytdownloader.

See if there are still problems now, if not all is good

thats delusionally optimistic

from ytdownloader.

OK, downloaded, then did another, and i comes up wrong, what a surprise!

from ytdownloader.

are you fixing or going to ignore, this feels like a waste of my time now.

from ytdownloader.

I am trying to the the problem for you and you feel like its a waste of your time, the irony!

from ytdownloader.

OK, downloaded, then did another, and i comes up wrong, what a surprise!

Did the same, but the correct format was selected, at this point i think its better to close it
