dl from youtube produces webm file that mplayer and vlc cannot play #8635
Comments
|
As a workaround -f mp4 produces a playable video. |
|
Produced file plays fine with mpv and latest vlc (2.2.2). Inability of your player to play particular formats is not a problem of youtube-dl. |

OK I guess the webm file uses features not available with my distro (trusty 14.04.4 LTS) Thanks for the mention of mpv - I hadn't come across that. Although the default version on Trusty (0.3.4 (C) 2000-2013) is obviously not up to playing it, but I guess that's a Ubuntu issue :-( Anyway thanks for your prompt reply, and your work on this invaluable tool. $ mpv Frankie\ And\ Johnnie\ [youtube\ BpOJgRWTbjU].webm Exiting...

With latest youtube-dl I downloaded this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOJgRWTbjU
