[04:45] <underscor> anyone know if youtube-dl handles dash properly atm?
[04:45] <underscor> (cc DFJustin via SketchCow)
[04:49] <DFJustin> it didn't a few days ago
[04:51] <DFJustin> nope still doesn't
[04:52] <underscor> what does it do wrong?
[04:52] <DFJustin> downloads the best available non-DASH which is of a lower quality
[04:53] <DFJustin> unless you specifically instruct it which format to get
[04:54] <DFJustin> e.g. `youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T1IYdjOpYE` downloads a 360p version when there is 480p available via DASH
[04:55] <underscor> aha
[04:56] <DFJustin> `youtube-dl -f 135+140 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T1IYdjOpYE` works but isn't documented or automatic
[04:56] <DFJustin> and you need a different incantation for 1080p
[04:58] <underscor> on the plus side, you can extract just the audio now
[04:59] <DFJustin> not much of a plus since you could do that before just with a little extra download time
[04:59] <underscor> haha
[05:00] <underscor> So the issue is that the default settings are bad (and the fix isn't documented)
[05:00] <DFJustin> yes
[05:01] <DFJustin> ideally it should do all of this automatically by default, but the bare minimum competent thing would be to print a warning that you're not getting the best quality
[05:02] <DFJustin> instead I had to redownload several months' worth of grabs after figuring this out
[14:24] <godane> so you guys are getting a incomplete dump of theblaze tv support forums
[14:24] <godane> they forums changed after april 2014
