I think, ffmeg may be more integral than I previously thought. you can try downloading ffmpeg and placing it in the plugin folder where yt-dlp is. I think this will combine the video and audio streams for higher quality videos. you can either download it manually, ytdlp have custom versions, or check the trim videos checkbox for an older version, both i think will work. Im still planning an updated version of vidsnap scraper but I think the new version may require ffmpeg as default. -
Interesting, I'll have a loook at this. I overlooked the audio as my desktop has no audio besides headphones. Some videos I tested have audio and some don't. I need to do some reading on yt-dlp formats, LB supported codec and maybe ffmeg conversion as well.

@KRI$85 I uploaded a new version, which I believe corrects the quality issue, but I think you're right: I will implement a simple resolution selection in the future. Still not sure about the search or video name thing, though. Could be videoURL in launchbox but not quite sure.
-
if the game has a video url in the metadata it will download that instead and not search. not sure if all videos are from youtube still. not sure about the game name thing, it never really happens to me. its itended for windows games mainly and those generally get found quite well. ill think about it but not sure ill come up with a solution. Its not the first time someone mentions the quality issue. previous versions only downloaded the best quality but video sizes would be large,but I think it may be best to go back to that? if you are trimming videos as well that could also maybe have an effect, i think it may be re encoded. I will have to relook at the code as well as yt-dlp and ffmpeg updates. Are you saying that all your videos are in 480p?
-
just for curiousity, what was the 'finding videos' problem?
-
@Partiesplayin @izzishor I've uploaded a new version, which seems to be working correctly on my side. Please have a try and see if it works for you. If it does work now, please check your local drive for a "videos" folder, and within that check for platform folders containing the videos you've previously attempted to download.
-
You're welcome to try, but it appears to not be working anymore. I'll have to investigate sorry.
-
not much you can do besides modify the source, however I think it should be hd by default. maybe youtube/ youtubedlp changed something

Vidsnap Scraper

@marph Do you still have issues, have you perhaps tried this?... -
@Steel The search string is the game name only + additional search terms, then there are flags for no-playlist, match-filter for duration, and quality. and thats about it. Everything after the -o flag is just where the video is saved. (game.VideoUrl at the end is nothing in this case, i think. youtube_srch.StartInfo.Arguments = $@" ""ytsearch:{CleanInput(game.Title)} {searchTerms}"" --no-playlist --match-filter ""duration <= {maxDuration}"" -f mp4{quality} -o ""\Videos\{CleanInput(game.Platform)}\{CleanInput(game.Title)}.%(ext)s"" {game.VideoUrl}"; Take note that if there is a video already in Launchbox, then it uses that link and doesn't do any searching. I didn't add platform-specific stuff because it was mainly just for Windows. You could try adding Amiga only to the search terms and see if that works. but I presume you've tried that.

Hi There, Try replacing the yt-dlp in the plugins folder with the latest version: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp.exe
-
Hey man, I misunderstood, im truely sorry.
-
thats great! I dont mind at all, make changes as you please. im glad someone is taking an interest in the code/functionality part of it.
-
dont have time to test all problems, so sometimes i just mention what i would try. i did say in the post it might not work.
-
I will have a look in the morning (about 12hrs from nw). edit: it seems 720p is a yt-dlp limitation yes. try downloading ffmpeg. you can download it by ticking the trim videos checkbox. if that doesnt work you can download it manually and put it in the vidsnap scraper folder. might still not work, but definitely worth a try
