Topic: SVPtube 2 - youtube_dl based online videos extractor

... it's not a separate app but another extension for SVP 4 Pro - install it as usual via Maintenance Tools.

Since it's based on youtube_dl it supports (almost*) everything that youtube_dl supports - https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html

(*) some sites can only provide m3u8 streams that are not supported by any known video player (?)

If you have mpv installed in SVP then it's also possible to open videos (including DASH formats) via mpv.


Questions, comments and feedback are very welcome big_smile

========

The only (?) video player that supports ALL features (DASH formats w/o "hanging", VTT subtitles, m3u8 streams) is mpv

========
ver.84 - added playlists and subtitles: http://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopic … 221#p60221
ver.87 - added stream protocol filter (HTTP,M3U8,RTMP)
ver.88 - added feature for video downloading via ffmpeg
ver.89 - added authentication option

Re: SVPtube 2 - youtube_dl based online videos extractor

could you write a chrome extension?
just adding "play it with svptube" in right click menu would be great.

Re: SVPtube 2 - youtube_dl based online videos extractor

Downloaded from the website receiving a network connection error (301) when I copy a youtube url, and after a few second some formats are available but they fail to render. Is it my firewall? Will try downloading from maintenance tools. Working now! The version on the wiki is different. I'd like to configure a separate profile for when using svptube, would that be possible?

well, you can add profile condition "is network stream" = "yes"

right click to play = copy link + autoplay

somtimes you just copy link to share, and so don't want autoplay checked.
Now I have some other issues:
1. youtube playlist seams not working
2. subtitles are not displayed
3. mpc-hc and mpc-be will hang for a while before playing, but mpv can start instantly

Re: SVPtube 2 - youtube_dl based online videos extractor

ver. 2.0.0.84

+ playlists (!!)
+ subtitles (including auto-generated ones from Youtube and encrypted ones from Crunchroll)
= a lot of minor improvements...

Notes:

0. mpv is highly recommended!

1. Youtube switched to VTT subtitles format that IS NOT supported in mpc-hc (yet)! mpc-be and mpv work great

2. Subtitles extraction can speed down the entire process a lot, especially when it has to actually pre-download and decrypt subtitles (see Crunchroll)
set tube.ydl.subs_read = false if you do not need subtitles at all

3. Some sites only provide m3u8 streams which are supported by mpv only (?). Set tube.ydl.protocols = http,rtmp,m3u8 if you want to try it.

4. RTMP streams won't work in MPC-HC if you're using system-wide LAV filters instead of built-in ones.

Re: SVPtube 2 - youtube_dl based online videos extractor

Both mpv and mpc-hc 1.7.10 have no audio in most videos(audio track missing). Any solutions?

EDIT: Videos with problems don't have DASH option, some video that have DASH option work when using it as source but don't if using a source without the "*"

no solutions w/o the exact video URL plus the video format name you've problems with...

Re: SVPtube 2 - youtube_dl based online videos extractor

There're a number of video formats (fmt ids>131 and >241) that contains only video BUT w/o "dash" flag set.
I've no idea what is this and why o_O  Maybe we just need to ignore them...

In the current SVPtube build these formats are shown as "1080p 1080p [xxx]", "240p 240p [xxx]", etc - with the doubled resolution value.
