@nostupidquestions How do I fix this in yt-dlp?
yt-dlp -S youtube-link always downloads 360p videos but not on newly downloaded videos even when those same videos download best video quality via command yt-dlp link. I have ffmpeg. Does yt-dlp have a history I can clear or a config reset because I can’t make sense of this regression happening otherwise since it’s not due to updates.
Just use
yt-dlp.exe url.Also, there’s a dedicated youtube-dl Community, with the Mods with the same names as in Reddit’s counterpart, so it’s likely them too: !youtubedl@lemm.ee
@A32topsL That doesn’t download av1 by default no? I’ve also downloaded some of the videos before with no problems
Ah, alright. Try
yt-dlp.exe -S vcodec:av01. Note however, not all YouTube videos have AV1 counterparts, and then other sites use different code for AV1, so I’m not sure if the command would always work for other non-YT sites.
That comm looks abandoned? Last post was 9mo ago.
Well, they’ll probably see it. I think Lemmy users should post there too to trigger them. The Reddit counterpart Mods with those same names are active in the Subreddit counterpart, not just by Mod activity but they’re actually knowledgeable of yt-dlp usage and other programs like Python, and they actually answer/reply there. So hopefully the Lemmy counterpart becomes active too, like at least cross post.
