Why not f3-v1+f1-a1 for better resolution?

[aazerty]

hi ,

> Why not f3-v1+f1-a1 for better resolution?
That was a TRY !!! ( for knowing if the stream/link was good ) .

cheers .

[jagabo]

I just updated the batch file for better compatibility.

Hi jagabo,
have you succeeded with that particular .mpd? It uses a non-standard trick: the headers for the video and audio streams are hidden in two separate files with .mp4 extension.

Yes, several times. I just did it again with the updated batch file to verify both the audio and video downloaded. The result had both audio and video and played properly:



For some reason the older batch file which did "youtube-dl -f best URL" didn't work. But the new batch file with just "youtube-dl URL" works fine.

I keep just getting audio but not video. HELP!

[jagabo]

I keep just getting audio but not video. HELP!

Then use the full command line that specifies which audio and which video you want. First use -F to get a list of available streams:

youtube-dl -F https://d3474jdn8yt2db.cloudfront.net/kraush/video/XX-AAAAFV/175951/dash/RAO_5957_110117_HENRIQUE_DIR_TRA_AULA_01_PT_I_OK.mpd

...other log info here, then ...

The name of the stream is at the far left. Then use -f and specify which streams you want:

youtube-dl -f f3-v1+f1-a1 https://d3474jdn8yt2db.cloudfront.net/kraush/video/XX-AAAAFV/175951/dash/RAO_5957_110117_HENRIQUE_DIR_TRA_AULA_01_PT_I_OK.mpd

That downloads the 1280x720 video and the audio and muxes them as an mp4 file.

I tried the command line you posted but did not succeed. What is the problem?

See i'm on a different mpd file. Hayu (UK Streaming site) uses mpd now and when i use this method it gives me only audio but not video.

Run the first command line I gave (using your url) to get a list of available streams for that URL. I get this:

That only shows audio so the video must be somewhere else. Or maybe youtube-dl just doesn't see the video.

After downloading the MDP file and opening it with Wordpad I can see that video streams are listed. So I guess youtube-dl just doesn't see them. Maybe because the site needs a login.

[TeRrOkToR]

Now worked perfectly !!!

The problem was in the youtube version.

Tks so much !!!

I did that but sadly on m4a files

Thank you very very much Jagabo, Alex_Ander, aazerty, as Terroktor said (we are relatives), it worked fine now. The problem was with the version.

Just read it. So if i login with my account info, i should get the video included? let me try and see

[monsterbubble]

Yea idk. Still gives me audio

[jagabo]

See the help file that comes with youtube-dl. It shows username, password, cookie options. I've never used them but maybe you can figure something out.

What do you mean.

Edit. Just re-read lol. Gonna try.

[aazerty]

Hi monsterbubble ,

You need a link for the video stream .

Cheers .

[monsterbubble]

Hi monsterbubble ,

Cheers .

that was a link. I don't know where else to find the video.

[Alex_ander]

I don't know where else to find the video.

Your .mpd describes video streams as well, e. g. the 1920x1080 version has ID: video_1_1, so you could try to specify video+audio directly using the -f option in youtube-dl:

youtube-dl -f video_1_1+audio_2_1 https://loudamdprod.akamaized.net/prod/dash/protected/NBCU_INTL_Production_-_Main/476/420/171102_3612756_Birthday_Fever_4000_1517320364593.mpd

I can't test it right now; it might work in case the program just fails to parse the .mpd, but it's also possible that there's some extra protection, as jagabo suspects.

Gonna test this out and see.

It doesn't work. Youtube-dl doesn't see the video streams.

[monsterbubble]

Yeah.. I just tried it out. Ugh

[monsterbubble]

So i decided to work more on this. I was only to download the audio only with the code that Alex_ander gave and i removed the video to see if it would download the audio and it did and i tested it and only used the video code to see if it downloads and it doesn't. Maybe this can help?
