Cevilia (she/they/…)

38 she/her or they/them or any pronoun. Cis woman… I think. I pretend to be an elf on the Internet. I’m mostly attracted to femininity.

I use tone indicators.

  • It varies based on the age of the video, newer ones do indeed have separate audio downloads. You can force audio only with

    yt-dlp -f bestaudio <url>

    This will cause the script to only consider audio-only formats, if bandwidth is a concern. However, how it decides which one is “best” is beyond me. For example, I tried one video and got a webm that contains only an audio track:

    ~ $ yt-dlp -f bestaudio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
