Tumbleweed: video plays on "gpac" but not on vlc - trying to understand why
I have here a video from youtube via yt-dlp that plays normally on gpac (normally but somewhat limit apparently for either graphics card or processor) but music runs well, and I do not know if gpac generally has good video quality or not, and that does play only music on vlc but with a black screen. Normally if a video is so big it cannot play it should be interlaced in vlc, isn't this the case? How can I understand what is the reason for it to play on one player and not on the other (but only music). Is there a log that could complain about something in vlc? Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20241121 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 Kernel Version: 6.11.8-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics Memory: 125.2 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Pro W5500 Product Name: X570 Phantom Gaming 4 VLC: RPM version 4.19.1.1 gpac: RPM version 4.19.1.1 video is webm size 279,7 mb dimension: 3840x2160 bitrate 13,5 Mbit/s freq: 23,98 fps poportions: 1,78:1 my screen is Lenovo T32H-20 resolution 2560x1440 which is, I belief, not hardware wise limited but Mesa Radeon graphics driver related (the Radeon Pro W5500 has 3840x2160 as maximum resolution although not for games. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-pro-w5500.c3479 are the details of the card. Shouldn't vlc downsize the video on a smaller resolution? were can I set this as automatic default. Thank you.

With these specs, it is probably not possible to play back webm files with video codecs vp8 or vp9. As a solution, 1. In the VLC settings, go to Tools --> Preferences --> Input / Cidecs and set 'Hardware-accelerated decoding' to Disable to play the video 2. When downloading videos with yt-dlp, specify a format other than webm. Example $ yt-dlp --recode-video mp4 URL

As the file was downloaded with yt-dlp, maybe just download a different version. I don't remember the exact method, but there is a switch to list the available versions, then you can fire the command requesting a specific version. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)

I don't understand what Robert is saying, not just Carlos.
What is your yt-dlp? Mine is this; $ yt-dlp --version 2024.11.18
$ yt-dlp --version 2024.10.22
Are you saying that yt-dlp can change the size while downloading? If there is such a thing, I would like to know about it.
I do not know whether yt-dlp can *change* the size of videos. With my configuration, as posted above, yt-dlp *chooses* from among the several available sizes, the size most acceptable to me. It downloads that one and does not change the size.
If the file format is specified, yt-dlp changes the file format after downloading the file, right?
No. It downloads a file already in that format, if available. Maybe yt-dlp has options to modify a file after downloading, but I haven't looked into that. -- Robert Webb

What is your yt-dlp?
Mine is this;
$ yt-dlp --version 2024.11.18
Are you saying that yt-dlp can change the size while downloading?
No. The server can have several versions available for downloading, and you can choose which one you want. I do this in two steps (sorry, I don't remember where I kept my notes on this, so going from memory). First I query the server for the available versions. Second I choose one. But today I don't find the option to list the resolutions available. Ah, I did it with the ancestor of yt-dlp, that's why I do not find the option. You can do: yt-dlp --list-formats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxzaAscpaCU it yields a lot of versions, and on the rightmost column you have the resolution. So just choose one with the ID number on the left. But I am confused by the "video only" choices. So Robert has concocted a line that chooses a version with a maximum resolution on the fly. cer@Telcontar:~/tmp/tmp> yt-dlp -f 'bestvideo*[width<=?2560][height<=?2560]+bestaudio/best[width<=?2560][height<=?2560]' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxzaAscpaCU [youtube] Extracting URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxzaAscpaCU [youtube] xxzaAscpaCU: Downloading webpage [youtube] xxzaAscpaCU: Downloading ios player API JSON [youtube] xxzaAscpaCU: Downloading mweb player API JSON [youtube] xxzaAscpaCU: Downloading m3u8 information [info] xxzaAscpaCU: Downloading 1 format(s): 271+251 [download] Destination: I bought the perfect Roller Compactor!

I don't like watching videos, and I use yt-dlp exclusively to download the music files in videos. I don't do it very often. I happened to see Stakanov's email and tried it, and an error message appeared. I thought it was a new kind of youtube harassment, but when I saw your email and looked it up on Google, it was an implementation of yt-dlp. How do I pass cookies to yt-dlp? Passing cookies to yt-dlp is a good way to workaround login when a particular extractor does not implement it explicitly. Another use case is working around CAPTCHA some websites require you to solve in particular cases in order to get access (e.g. YouTube, CloudFlare).

Actually, yt-dlp can change the file format and the size selected. By default it requests the largest size available if several are available. Typical example would be youtube where (following the quality / speed of your connect, the browser generally chooses the fitting size for not having the system run out of buffer when watching a video. yt-dlp can therefore choose which of the versions offered (but by default does not as it has all the time to download the file in the max size offered). The different formats are normally downloaded all together and they are then by default all integrated into a mvk file, unless you pass the -k (keep) option to yt-dlp and then you have the mkv and the different formats prior to integration. I think you are interested in the capacity to limit download size to a specific format (which yt-dlp can do). https://usercomp.com/news/1044021/yt-dlp-select-maximum-resolution-and-speci... gives an indication (just an example of many).

When I was a teenager I fell in love with Brahms - Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77. Then later, not so much. And then one day, relatively recently, I bumped into this interpretation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C_U7eUbVd8 I find it fabulous. Watching him play it and his expressions is fabulous. There is something worthy watching a concert in video instead of in CD that I missed for years. Actual concerts in my city are rare events. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

well, I used it because I found it installed by default on my system as alternative for webm. But I also thought it was crap. Helped however to do a quick check about whether my problem was the downloaded files or the codecs / size in VLC. So do not complain.

If you are just testing some local/remote file, use ffplay (ffmpeg). Plays almost anything. Check the man pages what it can do. In your case: ffplay -format PS. I use ffmpeg-6 from packman -- /bengan

I asked about ffmpeg-6 because Stakanov uses ffmpeg-7 on Tumbleweed. Incidentally, the versions currently used on Tumbleweed are ffmpeg-4 and ffmpeg-7.
Also, I asked about packman because I thought that the versions in the official repo and the versions in the packman repo were the same, and I wondered if there was a reason to use the packman's.

In Japan, people call each other by their family name, but here, I feel awkward calling person by his family name... You really do not have to worry. Just call me as you feel comfortable. I had a colleague being very "severed" by calling him with his surname. He was from Africa, eventually in that moment, I did not know which was actually his surname and which his (so called) "Christian name". So, easy going.
