QUESTION
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 18:05I 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.

I am writing a shell script to download audio.
I used
youtube-dl -f 'bestaudio[ext=m4a]'The resulting file is the title along with-mSc76Q90C4.m4awhere m4a is the format
I would like to set the filename during download and also have it in .wav format

QUESTION
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?
FFmpeg directly (140MB in memory):

TL;DR: I want to pipe the output of youtube-dl to the user's browser on a button click, without having to save the video on my server's disk.
So I'm trying to have a "download" button on a page (django backend) where the user is able to download the video they're watching. I am using the latest version of youtube-dl. In my download view I have this piece of code:

Answered 2021-Nov-11 at 08:47I 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. It's not what I originally had in mind, but it's the second best solution that I could come up with. I will select this answer as accepted solution until a Python wizard gives a solution to the original question. The code that I have right now:
QUESTION
I'm trying to make a continuous livestream of videos downloaded via yt-dlp. I need to port this (working) bash command into Python.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-07 at 18:06Closing 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).
