Question

WRITE QUESTION HERE
Why does Youtube-dl no longer discern 3gp video files? I seem to remember this was answered before with the answer Youtube no longer uses them but this is incorrect. Various Youtube plugins still access them and sites like genyoutube still make them available for download.

Youtube does not serve 3gp. This is most likely manually muxed video.

"Manually muxed video" Are suggesting I faked this??
My question was serious, I can supply various proof but if you went to www.genyt.net yourself you could see.

The website is manually muxing the video, similar to "YouTube to mp3" sites

edit: apparently not

But when I stream the video there's no delay whereas downloading there is - this behaviour is exactly the same as Youtube-dl when it still parsed 3gp files.
If genyoutube were muxing on the fly, why for 3gp only - why not for other sizes and formats that are audio or video only, why not muxe those together?

Also if you check the screenshot of ArcticFox and Realplayer you can see it is playing the rtsp stream in the info dialogue - definitely not transcoding there.

The URL in his screenshot clearly points to googlevideo.com, not a third-party proxy site.
