A yt-dlp extractor plugin to disable YouTube HTTPS-to-DASH format conversion
This plugin has been made obsolete by yt-dlp version 2023.04.11.161417, commit c6786ff
yt-dlp's default behavior has been reverted, and now it only constructs DASH-y formats if toggled by extractor-arg. As such, this plugin will no longer be updated, and it has been disabled for yt-dlp versions where it is obsolete
Update your yt-dlp to the latest version (yt-dlp -U) if you have not already.
The construction of DASH-y formats is enabled by default.
Pass --extractor-args "youtube:construct_dash=off" to disable it.
The NO_DASHY_DEFAULT class variable can also be toggled to True to disable DASH conversion by default. Then you could pass --extractor-args "youtube:construct_dash" to enable it.
If you wish to use this plugin as a workaround for mpv's issue with DASH-y youtube formats, you can add this line to your mpv.conf:
ytdl-raw-options="extractor-args=[youtube:construct_dash=off]"
Requires yt-dlp version 2023.03.12.091732 to 2023.04.11.160543.
You can install this package with pip:
python3 -m pip install -U https://github.com/bashonly/yt-dlp-YTNoDashy/archive/master.zip
