Question

I am trying to grab a copy of all 1920x1080 video tracks/ all audio tracks / all subtitle tracks from a m3u8 playlist file and put it into one file container (doesn't matter if mkv or mp4). I have tried so many variations of the text in the code examples as well as faq sections to try to accomplish this - but I am not getting youtube-dl to download this properly. The most I could do is grab the 1920x1080 video track and English audio track. Could anyone shed some incite on what to do?

The m3u8 file text (heavily redacted):

original_manifest.txt

---

My code (or one example of it):

"C:\youtube-dl 1\youtube-dl.exe" "http://127.0.0.1:8887/original_manifest" -o "C:\youtube-dl 1" -F best/aac-French/aac-Spanish --merge-output-format mp4

---

Output from -F command

Anyone have a clue how to save all subtitles/videos at 1920x1080/all audio tracks? If possible, please include a code snippet Thanks for any help!

You could download every file separately then loop through those and merge them with ffmpeg by specifically mapping every input stream to one output file.
youtube-dl --all-formats -o "%(autonumber)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" LINK
I have a method for merging audio that doesn't support video but should point you in the right direction (I want to clean it up more at some point in the future).
