Question

I do not know if it is possible to download it with the language tag selected from the list, I decided to ask here because I cannot handle this.

here I want to download the audio file with the language tag (like [de]) instead of the format code.

format code  extension  resolution note
1            m4a        audio only [en] DASH audio  128k , m4a_dash container, mp4a.40.2 (44100Hz)
3            m4a        audio only [fr] DASH audio  128k , m4a_dash container, mp4a.40.2 (44100Hz)
2            m4a        audio only [de] DASH audio  128k , m4a_dash container, mp4a.40.2 (44100Hz)

Will you please post the link to the video? (I've never seen that on a video before.)

I prepared the above output as an example.

You can check the "Angel One" video on this page as an example demo.

The language information is stored with the key "language". So I expected -f bestaudio[language=en] to work, but sadly it doesn't . The issue is that the fields available for filtering is hard-coded in. You can use your own version with language added as filterable field. Or, you can try writing a bash script to get the format id from the -F. I doubt there is any other way.

I have created a pull request that solves this issue.

Promoting any 3rd party forks/apps is considered spam. Do this privately if needed.

@dstftw I'm only trying to help. But your repo, your rules. I will make sure not to do this again.

@pukkandan Thank you for your interest, It is enough to add language to line 1076,
like \s*(?P<key>ext|acodec|vcodec|container|protocol|format_id|language)
@dstftw It would be great if you could do some update for that.

@astrid79 Yes, it would be enough to add language to the regex to solve this specific issue. However, my method (relaxing the regex to accept any field) has the advantage that the user can filter by any key that the extractor makes available - filesize, or format_note for example.

Thank you for your explanatory answers, I'm grateful.
