Philips.

Well, they’ll probably see it. I think Lemmy users should post there too to trigger them. The Reddit counterpart Mods with those same names are active in the Subreddit counterpart, not just by Mod activity but they’re actually knowledgeable of yt-dlp usage and other programs like Python, and they actually answer/reply there. So hopefully the Lemmy counterpart becomes active too, like at least cross post.

1. Alright, I checked your screenshot, your results have no single AV1.
2. Your -S "codec" seems to be not working as you intended anymore. Sometimes the ranking changes too through time, so you must update your command line. Happened to me too before. For example, use -S vcodec:av01. Again, don’t forget, your results have no single AV1, hence no AV1 could be downloaded.

So far works for me. For example Joshua vs Dubois highlight:

yt-dlp.exe -S vcodec:av01 -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZJCDbszAE4

As you can see, the bottom are 399, 398, 397, 396, etc., all AV1 formats. Last is 399 which is 1080p. The last on the list is the one would be downloaded, especially if you have FFmpeg.

Ah, alright. Try yt-dlp.exe -S vcodec:av01. Note however, not all YouTube videos have AV1 counterparts, and then other sites use different code for AV1, so I’m not sure if the command would always work for other non-YT sites.

Just use yt-dlp.exe url.

Also, there’s a dedicated youtube-dl Community, with the Mods with the same names as in Reddit’s counterpart, so it’s likely them too: !youtubedl@lemm.ee

NATO should at least shoot down missiles and drones which enter their sovereign airspace. Save Ukrainian lives and structures. Would also be actual experience of shooting down such actual enemy hardware in their own airspace. No simulation, no controlled environment. Would also train their AI for real.

Such will give the Ukrainian pilots valuable experience before doing riskier missions against aircrafts and other riskier ground attacks.

About time.
