Copying is not necessary. You can specify the full path to yt-dlp.exe in the "Executable file" field.

The cookies thing is good advice. Read up on it. I needed to learn how to do that because I discovered (especially with newer stuff) that without the browser youtube cookie it will use a lower-resolution video.

Using cookies is also necessary if you want to watch or download clips with membership or age restrictions.

is it really unfeasible to add the same cookie support for the internal parser directly from ytdl?

[v0lt]

@Sunspark, @LigH
As far as I know, you can now specify the path to the cookie file in the yt-dlp.conf file.
Something like this:

--cookies C:\\TOOLS\\yt-dlp_cookies.txt

No. We do not plan to do questionable things in terms of user data security.

[LigH]

Yes, you can export cookies from the browser to a text file (e.g. via browser add-on in case of Firefox) to load them from there into yt-dlp; but: There may be times when you need to export them again or YouTube will notice that they got obsolete in the meantime.

When I view a MP4 video (originally from Samsung Galaxy Smartphone) with MPC on Win10 then black letterboxes appears at the side (see snapshot in attachment).

How can I hide these black panes? MPC windows should contain only the portrait video.

Codec specification of the MP4 video see second attachment

Always post small samples of the video files you are having trouble with on public file sharing sites. This will allow other people to reproduce your problem faster, find the cause, and offer a solution.
For screenshots, use public image hosting services. All you have to do is add a link to your message.
For large text reports, you can use services like https://pastebin.com/

Ok, here is the video:

View > Options > Windows size > Limit windows proportions on resize.
But here we must remember that the player has a minimum window width for correct display of the menu and toolbar. Therefore, for small window sizes, black fields will always be (except for the "Minimal" preset).

Are there any long term plans to add Dolby Vision support ? User at Guru3D forums uploaded a version of MPV that plays Dolby Vision files on Windows 10/11.

https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/do...8#post-6330858

I am on Windows 10 and I tried several DV files and they were displayed correctly, with no green/purple tint. The player itself is a piece of crap though. Not intuitive to configure and it stutters during the play of good amount of videos I used to test it with, both DV and non DV. Only silver lining is its ability to correctly display Dolby Vision files.

[huhn]

try it with mpcVR as the video renderer.
there are a lot of different DV types some will work.

I ask for help: I have a problem when I use mpc-be to save a YouTube video in the webm format.
The download takes place correctly, a video file and audio file is created. But the next union, creates a small file (262 bytes) which obviously does not contain the video. In the MPC-BE installation folder there are ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe. If I use ffmpeg.exe from command line everything works properly. The problem seems to be in how MPC-be manages ffmpeg. I also tried various versions of ffmpeg.exe but the problem remains. Thanks to those who want to help me.

Provide a link to the video and a screenshot of the "Online media service" settings.

Added:
I think you are using VP9 video with AAC audio. MPC-BE tries to merge it into WebM format, which is impossible.

This may be fixed in the future. The best solution is to change the audio or video format in the settings.

[MR_b]

Thank you v0lt. The problem is with any video. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvAUQsbKnLI
For clarity I report what I do. I open the video (Open File/URL). I select one of the WEBM(vp9)... (Navigate > Jump To). The video is correctly played. Now Salvo (File > Save As).
What remains after downloading is a small file.
In the " Online media service " settings no change has given good results.

[Aleksoid1978]

Select Opus audio by default. WebM don't support aac.

[MR_b]

Thank you Aleksoid1978. Already done, but the problem remains.

Don't confirm.
VP9 + Opus - successfully save.

[MR_b]

Thank you Aleksoid1978. I identified the problem in the LAV filters. In particular in the audio setting, where I have to remove the tick from Dolby Digital and DTS. Thanks for helping me.

It doesn't work, files have the usual purple/green tint, but thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully some kind of workaround will be available in the future.
