Audio tab
Begasus opened this issue · comments
Downloaded a playlist link from youtube with the correct url, when using the audio tab and select download (after checked "playlist") it only downloads the first track, if I select video tab it downloads the full list of files?
How would I go about it to only download the audio tracks?
EDIT this was done with a build from the beta branch checkout :)
Thank you very much for trying this out. This is why I have a beta branch, some features may not be final. :) I personally tried downloading a music album from youtube with the playlist check and it worked really well. What os/distro are you using, and do you have ffmpeg on your system? Currently, the audio tab re-encodes files using ffmpeg, so if there is a problem with it, the whole process may stop. I am also working on an option check to bypass all settings and use the defaults suggested by youtube-dl so users can choose to avoid re-encoding.
Main OS on trying this out is still Haiku ;)
It works very well so far, only issue so far I have for downloading is the separate files (video/audio), having a playlist to download works fine otherwise, beta is not scaring me, it's called development/progress :)
We do have ffmpeg (and it's installed), if I use the cmd: youtube-dl it works well, on single of playlist file(s)
I think this may be a bug with downstream youtube-dl on haiku. When using the audio tab, I am using the flag "--audio-format" check to see if the flag works correctly on haiku.
Seems to be ok:
~/Desktop> youtube-dl --audio-format=mp3 https://youtu.be/U86okxevw4w

Does the end result give you an mp3 though? Please check that.
No mp3 file, only the mp4 file
Exactly as I suspected. On linux you would be left with only an mp3 file. There is an issue with youtube-dl and ffmpeg. Do you have ffmpeg on your system?
ffmpeg is installed on my system yes (we're pretty much on par on those things) ;)
The link used in there is a video with sound though, so I would suspect 1 file including both audio and video?
Just to make sure I tried downloading the whole Boston album on an arch linux virtual machine with a clean system and kde plasma, and it worked fine. I ended up with only mp3s of the songs in high quality. This is really an issue with haiku os so I will have to close it.
Fixed it locally :)
What was the fix?
Still looking into it a bit, but it seems it needs the "cmd:ffmpeg" not just the libraries
For audio this is working fine already :)
And some more progress (won't bother you again before some real issues pop up) ;)
I'm going to merge the beta with main this evening. I think you have sorted out the issues on haiku for it to be stable enough for use. Am I right?

Yes, most of the issues I'm facing are not related to the code here, some fine-tuning still remains, but that is something to deal with later (eg dependencies ...)
