Download audio as .flac format

[jannme310103]

Hello there,

I'm wondering if it's possible to add a option in the format Drop Down Menu that allows you to download audio as a .flac file. Is this possible?

Greetings
Jann

yes...but can you confirm your ffmpeg support flac encode?

on my pc---->

localhost:~# docker run -it --rm metube:20240522v2 '/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg' '-codecs' | grep flac
 DEAI.S flac                 FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)                      <--------------EA means support flac audio encode

[jannme310103]

I don't exactly know, I'll check that if I'm back at home later

[jannme310103]

So I checked it, I would say it's able to encode flac
I've checked it with this command

ffmpeg -i /home/jann/Sickmodel R Mish\ I One\ And\ only\ (Uptemp ol Edit).flac -f null -

and this is the output:

[PikuZheng]

yes. with postprocesser, you can convert audio file to flac easyily. just set
YTDL_OPTIONS={"postprocessors":[{"key":"Exec","exec_cmd":"sh /downloads/execafterdownload.sh","when":"after_move"}]}

file execafterdownload.sh:
ffmpeg -i "$1" -c:a flac "$1.flac"

[jannme310103]

I don't know how your description should work and what I have to do :(

Isn't there an easier way?
Maybe just like my question from the beginning, to bring an metube update?

This update then has the possibility to download the video respectively the video audio as a flac file directly?

If you want to explain me your idea to convert the audio file into a flac file, feel free :)
Or is it just me who finds as a first impression your solution is a little bit daunting and looks complicated.

yes. but it needs a little time

[jannme310103]

No problem, I'll be happy to wait :)

Can you inform me in some way as soon as the update is available?
