Missing Download Options

Hi nhyone, its been a long time since I have given a feed back on your amazing script. I compared the download options provided by your script with the options provided by some online YT downloaders and observed that some download options are not being displayed by your script.

As an example, the download options provided by your script for a sample page (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hr73QIB4N4) are: http://pzy.be/i/3/YT+options.jpg

Now, have a look at the download options provided by keepvid on this page (http://keepvid.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D5Hr73QIB4N4)

You will see that keepvid provides additional download options like 240p, 144p, 3GP, etc. Are you able to tweak your script to:

a. Display "All" available formats that YT can provide? b. Include the words "Audio Only" or "Video Only" for those options that only have audio/video. So, instead of M4V, it should now read "M4V (Video Only)"? c. Include a Download button by default so that when the user clicks on Download, only then the options are shown?

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback. :smile:

a. I shorten the list for readability. The heuristic is, iirc, if HD exists, it cuts off at 360p.

b. The script already does this. M4V = video only. M4A = audio only. MP4 is the one with both video and audio.

c. You need to edit the script to get this behavior. It is not the default. As for user configurations, I'm still waiting for an easy way to add such a page. :smiley:
