Suggestion: use ffmpeg to bypass audio-only speed throttling #26271
Comments

Throttling is bypassed natively in the first place. |
|
Then I'd like to report a bug because it's definitely not bypassed for me on the latest version |

There are no telepathists. Bother to read new issue template. |

Description
When you download an audio only format, YouTube throttles the speed so a 3 minute song can take up to three minutes to download. This could be avoided by adding an optional parameter which would indicate to ytdl that it should download the audio and video stream into a temporary file, then use ffmpeg to extract the audio. This would be a lot easier than having to manually do it.
