Description

Hi, with yt-dl i can download the audio from any video, which is great. The thing is, youtube stores opus audio in the webm container.

Is there any function to change the container within the yt-dl process? I tried:
youtube-dl.exe -f "bestaudio[ext=webm]" --batch-file "youtube-dl.txt" --merge-output-format ogg -v
but does nothing, it'll still give you the webm container file.
I believe it's not implemented or something, is there any known workaround?
thanks

also wanted to note, adding .mka (matroska audio container) support would be great, but the main one i'm looking for is the ogg container with .opus extension, as it's the recommended by the original opus specification, and it's also the one with the best compatibility.

I've found a way to do this with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i input.webm -vn -acodec copy out.opus
however i still think it would be great to get it integrated with yt-dl

You might want

youtube-dl --audio-format=opus -x

It gives an audio file with .opus extension.

That's helpful, but not what the original issue was about. --merge-output-format ogg should create file in the ogg container, which is widely more recognized than .opus files. For example, many Android phones can play Opus-encoded files, but they don’t recognize .opus files, only .ogg ones.

Here are my logs:

What’s actually interesting is that apparently the files IS in Ogg container, just the extension is wrong. See

The extension is not wrong because an .opus file is actually an ogg container with opus audio (opus is a codec and not a conainer).

Exactly, so if youtube-dl named the generated file .ogg this ticket would be resolved.

This ticket is about the container and not the extension.

My point was that this ticket is NOTABUG with regards to the container. Output is already in OGG.

I have exactly this problem too. I can download an opus file but I can't play it in Android without renaming it manually to file.ogg. Would be good to know how to get youtube-dl to rename it automatically or just convert it to ogg with FFMPEG.

You don’t have to use ffmpeg. mv filename.opus filename.ogg is enough.

Sorry I should have explained that I'm using youtube-dl.conf with the following config:

-x
-f worstaudio[ext=m4a]
-o "C:\Users\iain\Sync\audio\%(title)s.%(ext)s"

I'm using m4a because opus files won't play in Android. Would be awesome to just use -f worstaudio and have a playable file.

@mcepl mcepl commented Jan 7, 2020

I'm using m4a because opus files won't play in Android.

That is not correct. Opus files (renamed to .ogg) do play with the native Android media player.

It's not clean, but --exec 'ffmpeg -i {} -vn -acodec copy "$(basename -- {} .webm).ogg" && rm {}' seems to be working with Webm/Opus format as input.

Example: youtube-dl -f 250 --exec 'ffmpeg -i {} -vn -acodec copy "$(basename -- {} .webm).ogg" && rm {}' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EaxYi31ips

You can’t perform that action at this time.
