[00:42] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [00:47] *** Stiletto has joined #internetarchive [01:41] if you download with youtube-dl you can use the --write-info-json option to get a json file of metadata which is good to include [01:41] see http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=YouTube [01:42] you would still have to enter the basics to show on the archive.org item though [02:32] thanks for the tip [04:44] *** Smiley has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [04:45] *** Smiley has joined #internetarchive [07:17] *** yipdw has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [07:20] *** zhongfu has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [07:21] *** yipdw has joined #internetarchive [07:42] *** yipdw has quit IRC (Quit: No Ping reply in 180 seconds.)

[11:43] *** atomotic has joined #internetarchive [12:47] DFJustin: Specular: that recommended set of flags is wrong [12:47] some videos will fail on bestvideo+bestaudio because they don't have separate streams [12:48] so you need bestvideo+bestaudio/best which is supposedly the default in newer youtube-dl versions [12:48] (meaning it falls back to `best` if `bestvideo+bestaudio` cannot be satisfied) [12:51] interesting, I'm used to bestvideo+bestaudio, so it's the default now? IIRC ytdl used to choose whichever 'best' versions fitted in an MP4 container but I could be misremembering. [12:51] that is, a variant of it is a default [13:24] *** luckcolor has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 1208 seconds) [13:39] *** luckcolor has joined #internetarchive [13:56] Specular: no, the default is now bestvideo+bestaudio/best [13:57] at least, last I checked [13:57] 'best' was the old default [13:57] but that would only look for single-stream options [13:57] and so you'd miss the higher-quality split streams [14:13] *** atomotic has quit IRC (Quit: Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com) [14:17] *** luckcolor has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 1208 seconds) [14:18] when doing YouTube I like to specify H.264 streams with bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a] [14:18] reason being that sometimes youtube-dl will choose the webm format as the "best" one, but it's actually noticeably lower quality than the mp4, especially at low resolutions [14:19] it's a bit of a gamble either way I guess. youtube-dl can't tell which one is truly better [14:51] *** luckcolor has joined #internetarchive [15:26] *** luckcolor has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 1208 seconds) [16:40] *** luckcolor has joined #internetarchive [17:22] *** Specular has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 370 seconds) [17:44] *** Sum has joined #internetarchive [20:39] *** zyclonicz has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [23:34] *** zyclonicz has joined #internetarchive [23:44] hey, does anyone know how often IA crawls are updated on the site? [23:45] that is, if something was crawled in June would it have been updated on the web archive by now? [23:45] yes [23:51] updates are close to real-time now [23:52] almost always within a week [23:52] usually by the next day [23:53] nice
