mpv doesn't recognise ytdl_path as a key

Asked 2022-Feb-19 at 18:05

I'm trying to use yt-dlp rather than youtube-dl due to the bottlenecking on download speeds in youtube-dl but I can't get it to work.

My mpv.conf file looks like:

script-opts=ytdl_hook-ytdl_path=/usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

When trying to get mpv to run I get this warning:

[ytdl_hook] script-opts: unknown key ytdl_path, ignoring

Does anyone know what the problem is? I've read through the mpv docs and it says this should work.

mpv is version 0.27.2

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Feb-19 at 18:05

I had the same problem as you, on mpv version 0.32.0. The problem is that the ytdl-hook settings category is not an option in these older versions. Your solutions are to update your mpv version or to create a link from youtube-dl to yt-dlp. Hope this helps.

FFmpeg Minimize memory usage or add timeout to youtube-dl

Asked 2022-Feb-09 at 12:01

So I am using FFmpeg to download an m3u8 stream. For optimization, I tried running the FFmpeg directly instead of using youtube-dl with it. But for some reason, the ffmpeg.exe uses 140 MB of memory while ffmpeg.exe via youtube-dl uses only 14 MB of memory.

So I have two questions:

Is there a way to minimize the direction FFmpeg memory usage
Add a timer (custom command) to FFmpeg via youtube-dl. FFmpeg has a build-in command -t (seconds). Is there a way to use it via youtube-dl?

I did a workaround. I download the file with a specific name, I return the view with HttpResponse, with force-download content-type, and then delete the file using python.

Python buffered IO ending early streaming with multiple pipes [BOUNTY]

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Nov-07 at 18:06

Closing the stdin pipe is required for "pushing" the sub-process remaining (buffered) data to stdout pipe.

For example, add encoder_p.stdin.close() after finish writing all data to encoder_p.stdin.

I don't understand how your code is working.
In my machine, it gets stack at encoder_buf = encoder_p.stdout.read(COPY_BUFSIZE).

I solved the problem using a "writer thread".
The "writer thread" reads data from yt_dlp_p and write it to encoder_p.stdin.

Note: In your specific case, it could work without a thread (because the data is just passed through FFmpeg, and not being encoded), but usually, the encoded data is not ready right after writing the input to FFmpeg.

My code sample uses FFplay sub-process for playing the video (we need the video player because the RTMP streaming requires a "listener" in order to keep streaming).

Support

As a matter of policy (as well as legality), youtube-dl does not include support for services that specialize in infringing copyright. As a rule of thumb, if you cannot easily find a video that the service is quite obviously allowed to distribute (i.e. that has been uploaded by the creator, the creator's distributor, or is published under a free license), the service is probably unfit for inclusion to youtube-dl. A note on the service that they don't host the infringing content, but just link to those who do, is evidence that the service should not be included into youtube-dl. The same goes for any DMCA note when the whole front page of the service is filled with videos they are not allowed to distribute. A "fair use" note is equally unconvincing if the service shows copyright-protected videos in full without authorization. Support requests for services that do purchase the rights to distribute their content are perfectly fine though. If in doubt, you can simply include a source that mentions the legitimate purchase of content.
