Selected MP4 Format, but downloading in webm

[rebeltaz]

Thanks for taking the time to submit a bug report! Please include the following information:

What operating system are you using?

Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS

What version of Tartube are you using?

v2.5.059

If your bug report is "I can't download this video", please provide a link to the video

In Classic Mode, I have selected MP4 as the desired Format, 720p as the desired Quality, and "Download in the Format" selected. When I download a video from youtube, though, it ALWAYS downloads in webm format instead. I don't know if this helps or not, but this is the output of a direct (in terminal) manual download of that link:

What's weird is that yt-dlp IS downloading the video as an MP4 (or so it looks like), but even when that is through, I'm still left with a webm and ONLY a webm. 🤷‍♂️

Please repeat that test, but this time include the yellow text at the top of the Output tab.

OK... so that was the output when I ran the command in a linux terminal. When I run tartube with that link, apparently, I didn't wait long enough. It seems to be converting the file from webm to mp4, despite me specifying that I want it DOWNLOADED in that format, and warning me that if it's not available in that format, the download will fail.

The "Download in this format" box seems to be broken. I suggest downloading in the Videos tab until I can fix it.

Ah. Thank you. I appreciate it.
