StreamFinder-2.70

Changes for version 2.70 - 2026-08-11

  • StreamFinder::Youtube - Add ability to return Youtube "DASH" streams in pairs separated by a bar ("|"): (an audio-only stream URL plus a video-only stream URL) by specifying a yt-dlp audio format specifier in the "-format" option plus a separate video format specifier in the new "-formatv" option. Youtube now only returns up to a single stream URL that combines audio and video (ancient format "18" which is a very low resolution format (360p)). All their other available formats are now either video-only or audio-only ("DASH" format). This new option will now allow Fauxdacious Media Player to play higher-resolution and higher-fidelity Youtube videos by streaming both URLs simultaineously and combining their content during demuxing, while still allowing dynamic seeking within the stream without having to download! Example: -format => "bestaudio", -formatv => "bv[height<=720][vbr<=3500]", format-fallback => "b[tbr<=3500]". This example tries to download up to 720p with average bandwidth of no more than 3500 kbps along with best audio format. If yt-dlp fails to obtain both a valid and compliant audio and video URL, the old (fallback) 360p combined format (18) stream will be returned. The first stream returned will be "audio-url|video-url" and the 2nd will be the "audio-url". If the fallback is returned it will be the "avcombo-url".
  • StreamFinder::Odysee - Removed due to restrictions preventing playing their streams outside of their javascript-based web-browser player and no longer providing a backup Youtube URL (in other words, more internet encrapification).
