Well, from the video I posted above:

"360P" download was
640x260
Frame rate 48

"Medium" download was
640x260
Frame rate 24

If it were in .avi format with mp3 audio instead of mp4, "Medium" would probably play quite nicely.

I never did understand why mp4 is used over avi with YouTube.

Not even my Xbox can play that format very well.

Oh well, I think maybe I should look into installing Linux, just for auouymous.

The tablet-encode script uses 400x240 @ 15 frames.

Maybe because MP4 fixes the problems that AVI has.

You have it on your tablet, now put it on your desktop.

So I downloaded this video at 720P.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hBYymaN...e_gdata_player

I was able to transcode it to 640x368, at 44100 sample rate for audio.

It looked and sounded good but really wasn't worth the time.

Anyway, I also downloaded it using youtube-dl-x and noticed something.

With the tablet's version, the audio was only at 22050.

I'm not sure how all of the encoding for a video is stored at YouTube, but is it possible to grab the lowest video quality like it does now but also a better audio at the same time in your script?

It seems like the audio should always be a stereo mp3 at a 44100 kHz sample rate, and 128 Kbps bit rate.

Can this be done?

Cheers.

Okay, say for this YouTuber...
http://m.youtube.com/user/osirislightandsound

Is it possible to just grab the audio at 44100 kHz, 128 Kbps and not even bother with the video?

Looking through the youtube-dl-x options, it seems like it can only be done after downloading it in full and then doing some post-processing on it afterwards which isn't supported because we don't have ffmeg and ffprobe compiled.

Is this correct?

Thanks ahead as always.

I doubt it. If you run youtube-dl with the -F option you can see the available formats for a given video. You can select the format and resultion, not the audio quality, unless they encode different formats with different qualities, try googling for more details on each format ID (the number in far left column).

Yes, youtube-dl downloads the video, extracts the audio track and then encodes to mp3.

Well, you know me, always asking questions. *lol*

So for this...
http://m.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&hl=...&v=BQu4PUJ5oA4

To get the quickest and best audio quality, would that be just to download it in 720P format and then play the .mp4 through XMMS?

I tried this and it's showing that the audio is in Variable Bit Rate format so I'm not sure if that is the high, low or medium end for the sound.

Thanks!

Or mplayer using the -novideo parameter.

Hey chief.

Is yt clean working on your end?

If I run it while a video is playing I get

Code:
killall: cannot kill pid 15814: No such process
Terminated
If I run it when mplayer isn't running I get

Code:
You need to specify whom to kill
Either way, the folder doesn't clear.

It calls yt kill and that was killing the yt clean script so it couldn't empty the directory.

Version 1.3 is now available to fix that and also adds ability to specify URL on command line.
