And bitrate 3583 kb/s vs. 3582 kb/s.. No really, thanks for this comparison. And I agree, the MP4 direct download is actually the better default and should be preferred, for the reasons you already mentioned. BTW, what did you use to find the links? One of these? |
Exactly. https://mediathekviewweb.de - is my favorite because of being fast due to using AJAX. In case I need a database in a local file, I go to https://mediathekdirekt.de/. |
|
Could you try out the version from my pull request? It solve this issue for all media from Das Erste. |

Sorry for not replying before. For now the patch cannot be cleanly applied. But looking at https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/pull/17851/files#diff-2ebe82369b35395b419db1575a615d9dR27 # IMPORTANT: Not valid for media from WDR/BR/etc. serversit seems it is not exactly what this issue is about, since the video from 'Das Erste' was only one example for an ARD URL (www.ardmediathek.de / classic.ardmediathek.de). |
|
For ARD download URLs can be obtained generally as follows (in a bash shell): URL_CLASSIC='https://classic.ardmediathek.de/tv/mareTV/Estlands-verwunschene-Inseln/NDR-Fernsehen/Video?bcastId=14049152&documentId=66593126'
ID=`echo "${URL_CLASSIC}" | sed -e 's|.*documentId=\([0-9]*\)|\1|'`
JSON=`wget -q -O - "https://www.ardmediathek.de/play/media/${ID}"`
echo $JSON | jq -r '._mediaArray[]._mediaStreamArray[]._stream'Result: |
|
It looks like for quality parameter applies:
Thus one can select the desired download URL (e.g. "HD"): Result: |
|
I might take a look at this again next week. Things have changed significantly since 2018, so it's likely all going to be different now. Shouldn't be difficult to find out, though.
At the time, there weren't any higher quality streams/files from WDR/BR/etc. that weren't found by the existing code. Might have changed now but only ARD-Mediathek-hosted videos had higher quality back in 2018. |
Make sure you are using the latest version: run
youtube-dl --versionand ensure your version is 2018.09.26. If it's not, read this FAQ entry and update. Issues with outdated version will be rejected.Before submitting an issue make sure you have:

1280x720 mp4 file (https://pdvideosdaserste-a.akamaihd.net/int/2018/09/18/196f8dd1-4491-4405-be65-fff78fcc8e0d/1280-1.mp4) has not been discovered. It should be selected as "best" instead of hls-3771 ts stream (which would need ffmpeg postprocessing).
P.S. above is only an example for the issue with ARD Mediathek.
