ytcc video resolution settings funtioning inconsistantly

[woefe]

I think the problem is that you have mkv, mp4 and best without the height qualifier. Your format selector will always go for mkv or mp4, if available, regardless of the resolution.

Try for example: bestvideo[height>=1080]+bestaudio/best[height>=1080].

The issue is that I am using this to populate minidlna to stream content and I cannot use webm/dash, and other various video/audio encoded videos. Is there not a way to both force a proper extension/encoding and screen resolution?

Using youtube-dl you can do something like this, which will get you the best resolution then merge output to mkv.

youtube-dl -i -o "%(uploader)s.%(title)s.%(ext)s" --skip-unavailable-fragments --merge-output-format "mkv"

I will try what you recommended though and see if I get dnla stream-able videos.

Thanks again for your assistance.

I am still unable to get it to only get 1920x1080 or better using...

[youtube-dl]
format = mkv/mp4/bestvideo[height>=1080]+bestaudio/best[height>=1080]

I added the merge_output_format option in 6d9ad60, because it seemed to fix your problem when using youtube-dl directly. Try the latest commit on the master branch and set the following config. It will get the bestvideo+bestaudio and merge them to a mkv container or use the best single file format available.

[youtube-dl]
format = bestvideo+bestaudio/best
mergeoutputformat = mkv

Giving it a go now. Thank you! I will report back when I see some additional videos yanked.

Works perfectly! Thank you very much for your work on this project and for your help here. I greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Woefe, did this merge_output option go away in the latest revision? Was the change made on the main branch? Seems all of a sudden my system is ignoring it and dumping webm files instead.

[pghpete]

ignore that pghpete dude. he's mistaken. what a dope. :)

new system lacked ffmpeg for some reason so it couldn't do the merge post download.
