This is not documented anywhere so it may change in the future:
import youtube_dl
ydl_opts = {
'format': 'bestvideo+bestaudio/best'
}
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
test_url = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaW_jenozKc'
info = ydl.extract_info(test_url, download=False)
if info.get('requested_formats') is not None:
# we got DASH formats
video_format, audio_format = info['requested_formats']
video_url = video_format['url']
audio_url = audio_format['url']
else:
video_url = info['url']
|

Thank You for the helpful code, however; this version appears to ignore the "download=False" and continues to download. |

It works fine here (and should work with quite old versions), could you run this script and post the output?: from youtube_dl.version import __version__
print('version: %s' % __version__)
import youtube_dl
ydl_opts = {
'format': 'bestvideo+bestaudio/best',
'verbose': True,
}
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
test_url = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaW_jenozKc'
ydl.print_debug_header()
info = ydl.extract_info(test_url, download=False)
if info.get('requested_formats') is not None:
# we got DASH formats
video_format, audio_format = info['requested_formats']
video_url = video_format['url']
audio_url = audio_format['url']
else:
video_url = info['url']Posting the script you are using would help. |

Sorry, my mistake...forgot to disable a bash script that was calling youtube-dl. The code works perfectly!!! Now to figure out how to combine the audio and video. I ran youtube-dl with the --verbose option, which gave me the command to use. This allows me to combine the wonderful Web and Android GUI of pyLoad with the powerful extractor of youtube-dl. |

Cool, I can make use of all these available options in ydl_opts. Available options: |
|
One last question... Looks like there is a progress hook. Can I get that percentage using this code? Thank You |
|
Yes: def hook(ph):
percent = float(ph['downloaded_bytes'])/float(ph['total_bytes']) * 100.0 |
|
Thanks again. |

Hi,
So I am integrating youtube-dl with the Youtube plugin for the PyLoad download manager, because youtube-dl supports DASH video.
I have the code working below. Questions:
If not, I can just check for DASH and call the code below a 2nd time with "bestaudio" for the 'format'
"youtube-dl -f 137+bestaudio/best --youtube-include-dash-manifest --prefer-ffmpeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B99SxGxHs6U"
Can I still leverage the youtube-dl post-processor to merge the video and audio using the code below? I realize using PyLoad external download manager may have created problems with timing for merging. Youtube-dl downloads the video 1st and then calls the postprocessor after the audio is downloaded and merges.
