01:41 🔗 DFJustin 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 🔗 DFJustin see http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=YouTube
01:42 🔗 DFJustin you would still have to enter the basics to show on the archive.org item though
02:32 🔗 Specular thanks for the tip

12:47 🔗 joepie91 DFJustin: Specular: that recommended set of flags is wrong
12:47 🔗 joepie91 some videos will fail on bestvideo+bestaudio because they don't have separate streams
12:48 🔗 joepie91 so you need bestvideo+bestaudio/best which is supposedly the default in newer youtube-dl versions
12:48 🔗 joepie91 (meaning it falls back to `best` if `bestvideo+bestaudio` cannot be satisfied)
12:51 🔗 Specular 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 🔗 Specular 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 🔗 joepie91 Specular: no, the default is now bestvideo+bestaudio/best
13:57 🔗 joepie91 at least, last I checked
13:57 🔗 joepie91 'best' was the old default
13:57 🔗 joepie91 but that would only look for single-stream options
13:57 🔗 joepie91 and so you'd miss the higher-quality split streams

14:17 🔗 luckcolor has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 1208 seconds)
14:18 🔗 Frogging when doing YouTube I like to specify H.264 streams with bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]
14:18 🔗 Frogging 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 🔗 Frogging it's a bit of a gamble either way I guess. youtube-dl can't tell which one is truly better
