Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem I'd put all the blame on youtube if not because youtube-dl can still access the formats I request through https. The strange thing is that I haven't changed configuration in a while, and yt-dlp was last changed 3 days ago, but this started happening today.

My old format selection string explicitly forbid downloading in dash, but seems it's also being ignored (, unless it changed recently?). I'd prefer to not use dash unless strictly necessary, as it's bad for archiving (fragment download errors may cause videos to randomly break and it's unnoticeable until then since the file size is proper at a glance). Options such as -extractor-args='youtube:skip=dash', -no-allow-dynamic-mpd and everything that matches a search result for 'dash' in the manual seems to have no effect, all downloads will be listed as dash even when https is available for them, and will be downloaded through dash. The only exception being format 22, but I have little use for 480p+ resolutions.Īt first I thought it was a change in Youtube itself, but an up-to-date youtube-dl is still able to list and downloads those formats through https.

Since a few days ago, and without updating yt-dlp, all youtube https downloads have turned into dash, even the ones I have already downloaded as https a few days ago. United States Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood
