The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

@nostupidquestions How do I fix this in yt-dlp?
yt-dlp -S youtube-link always downloads 360p videos but not on newly downloaded videos even when those same videos download best video quality via command yt-dlp link. I have ffmpeg. Does yt-dlp have a history I can clear or a config reset because I can't make sense of this regression happening otherwise since it's not due to updates.
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: [email protected]
That comm looks abandoned? Last post was 9mo ago.
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.
@A32topsL That doesn't download av1 by default no? I've also downloaded some of the videos before with no problems
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.
@A32topsL Still forced 360p. I've already added screenshots. Seems -S is the culprit.
-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.@A32topsL I use -S "codec" to download av1 then failing that vp9..... but seems to be impossible now :(
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.
@A32topsL Yeah but for most other videos they download the best but for some God-given already downloaded videos it forces 360p (my commandline)
Do you have ffmpeg installed?
I forget the flags, but I think you can list all formats with the -F, then select the ones you want be downloaded using the id number and the flag -f. and use a + if you want ffmpeg to merge an audio and video track together. Would that help?
