resolution choice / arguments ?

[nykoo]

Thank you very much for your answer :)
Your tool is great, even for a very code noob as i am.
Thank you

[nykoo]

will try, thank you

[mayeaux]

My pleasure hopefully you find it useful.

Currently it will just download the highest quality audio and video available, I will probably end up adding functionality whereby you can pass custom flags and then your functionality should be possible.

[mayeaux]

Awesome to hear. Are you on Windows?

Also if you go here:
https://github.com/mayeaux/videodownloader/blob/master/renderer.js#L48

You can pass different flags to youtube-dl and customize the arguments passed. Read up on how youtube-dl works and then you can use that to download custom resolutions

Yes i'm on windows

i found the arguments but don't know how to insert it:
-f "best[height=720]
(Where idi i insret it ? did i remove the // in front of line ? )
anyway not a real problem, downloaded in max resolution and then re-convert it ;)

Thank you again for this tool and for your answers (and sorry for my bad english)

[mayeaux]

 // select download as audio or video
  if(downloadAsAudio){
   ...
  }  else {

     arguments.push('-f');
     arguments.push('best[height=720]')
  }

No problem, add the part I just added in the else {} block and it should work! And your English is fine, happy to help and happy to hear it's working well on Windows :)

[nykoo]

Thank you for your so quick answer :)
But it don't work. i certainly did something wrong.
i insert the code in the else {} block of the renderer.js part but then i have an error:

renderer.js:165 stderr: ERROR: requested format not available

renderer.js:165 stderr: Traceback (most recent call last):

renderer.js:182 child process exited with code 1

The video is playable in 720 via youtube.

Anyway really not a problem i convert it to the size i needed and this is perfect.

Again thank you very much for your coding skills and you kindness.

Try to run youtube-dl -F yoururl.com to get the available formats. If you get youtube-dl working from the command line you should be able to test things manually before you plug it into videodownloader
