QUESTION
When I download audio from youtube via youtube-dl:
A) if I type -f bestaudio I get webm files which can't contain musical metadata and can't be played by most apps.
B) if I type -f bestaudio --extract-audio --add-metadata I get opus files which contain musical metadata and can be play by most apps.
I conclude Opus is more useful. However webm and opus files often appear to be slightly different on Spek and so I get doubtful since I don't know how to read such subtle difference.
Questions
Is someone able to explain me in casual language what is occurring in the process within youtube-dl when doing it with option A and when doing it with option B?
Which one is finer? Quality as when played online full on is a must, not simply to have fun listening to.
Is there any other info that could help me assure to download best unprocessed audio with youtube-dl?
I wish someone is able to help me, I thank you very much in advance! :)
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-01 at 12:41webm is a media container similar to mkv, opus is a audio format which can be included in the webm among with video, other audio tracks and subtitles etc..
opus seems to have higher bitrate (better quality) than offered by youtube-dl/newpipe but not so great hardware support, that does not matter for your pc and phone though.
youtube does not offer uncompressed audio/video
QUESTION
This code works. It throws an error on the first getClipFile, because ffmpeg hasn't completed. I kind of understand that, but also it's running again somehow?
I want to make it run once, after the my bash script has completed. I also cannot understand how to simply wrap it all in a function and just wait on it.
Thanks! The JS:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-May-31 at 21:55You need to wait for the end event before calling getClipFile(). You're calling it every time you get a buffer of data.

I have a stream of data that I’m writing to a named pipe:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-May-28 at 05:08it looks like File.readlines/IO.readlines, File.read/IO.read need to load the whole temp file first so you don't see any be printed out.
try File#each/IO.foreach which process a file line by line and it does not require the whole file be loaded into memory
QUESTION
Out of sheer curiosity I would like to know how this quoting dilemma can be fixed. I already solved the issue by circumnavigating it (I added [vcodec!*=av01] to the -f argument and simply removed the --exec part entirely). Otherwise it only worked, when there were no spaces or minus signs in the --exec argument. The culprit line is the last and the issue is at the end with the --exec argument. You can ignore the rest.
Thanks for your help on the road to enlightenment! ;-)

Answered 2021-May-26 at 18:16Use another function to save you from the double indirection in a single command (parallel executes youtube-dl that executes avtomp4conv). GNU parallel uses your current shell to execute its commands, so no need for bash -c here.

There is a personal program of mine which logs in, scrape links and then download them but I have a problem with login part. It logs in even if I enter the wrong username and password (It returns me the You have logged in ... sentence all the time).

ANSWER
Answered 2021-May-23 at 07:21The problem here is that you just check the status code of the server with login_request.status_code == 200. Even if the server sends back a page with 'Go away with your fake login' it successfully sent you a page back so you will receive a status code of 200.
Try to check the page sent back for some words like 'failed' or 'wrong' to see if the login was wrong. Or maybe se server responds with a 302 redirect if the login was correct so you can check for that?

I'm looking to build a Youtube recommendations scraper which scrapes the Youtube homepage looking for youtube video ids/links for later download with youtube-dl. However, I do not know how/where to actually obtain this information.
My attempted code is below:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-May-21 at 13:36Your selection doesn't match any elements. By taking a simple look at the html-source of my youtube front-page i noticed, that every element that contains a video is an a-tag of the id 'thumbnail' which also has the direct attribute 'href':
given that, you can just find elements by this exact id and extract the given attribute "href" from it and filter it through a simple list comprehension like so:
QUESTION
I'm trying to write a Bash script that would download an audio track from youtube and convert it to Apple ringtone format, which is .m4r. The tools I employ are youtube-dl and ffmpeg. The former seems to work fine but I have a strange issue with the latter. When I try to pass the name of the file parametrically, shell prints that file or directory can't be found.
I use the same method for unwraping user input (or my defaults) for both commands but it only seems to work with youtube-dl.
Example of what doesn't work and print the text above. Obviously, all the files are in fact there and accessible

a simple summary is in the title but to further explain:
Whenever i open my terminal (iterm2) i load into zsh but completions don't seem to work, then when i manually run source .zshrc it does fully load. I've tried moving stuff around in my .zshrc file to see if the order of loading was incorrect but it didn't fix anything.

- If you do

...ANSWER
Answered 2021-May-09 at 14:12Updating youtube-dl. Depending on the way you installed it, here are the commands:(in windows)
1-youtube-dl --update (self-update)
2-pip install -U youtube-dl (via python)
3-choco upgrade youtube-dl (Windows + Chocolatey)
and a cookies.txt file can be created with the "cookies.txt" extension.
Do this while being logged in to YouTube.
for example :
For Firefox: this
For Chrome:this
Then run youtube-dl like this:
youtube-dl.exe --cookies C:\Users\tezJR\Downloads\cookies-txt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$VIDEO-ID
adjust that command to where your cookies.txt file is actually located and replace $VIDEO-ID with the ID of your restricted video
