Redgifs downloads both best & worst quality versions #29382
Comments
Yes, it's true:
, but if you look at these lines:
and take a look at https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/search?q=redgifs you'll see ytdl doesn't support redgifs per se, instead it uses the generic support. ^ That's the reason it takes both: it sees 2 vids of diff names/ID's and doesn't have a concept of same-but-diff-qualities. |
I did this to use the gfycat extractor for redgifs links. |

Description
!!!! Warning: NSFW LINK !!!!
youtube-dl is supposed to download only the best version but on redgifs, both versions gets downloaded.
HQ version: 3Mbps 1080p H264 30fps (22MB)
-mobile version: 614KBps 480p H264 30fps (4.5MB)
As you can see above, RG serves a playlist so ytdl treats them as seperate videos and both get downloaded. Quality selection parameters (worstvideo / bestvideo) don't work at all. Also there is no format code so (-f) doesn't work either.
This was not the case i think about 3-4 months ago.
