Arte mp4 extension selection for equivocal format code

[romeofox]

Hi there,

how can I select the mp4 extension for a format that also exists with the flv format, because only the latter is downloaded when selecting the respective format code with the -f option ???

Media type is now included in format code. For your particular case you'll need to pass 406-800-VOA-mp4 to -f option. Use -F for the whole list of format codes as before. Thanks for the report.
