Wrong audio format

[danieleugoletti]

I use the docker version to generate a feed from youtube channel in audio format (quality = "high" format = "audio"), the files are stored in a folder (data_dir="/app/data/") and have the right name and extension (.mp3), but the files aren't mp3 anche can't be played.

I made some test in macOS and the error seams in youtube-dl

this command produce wrong file:
youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --format bestaudio --output data/abc/TA-c16e_zZ8.mp3 https://youtube.com/watch\?v\=TA-c16e_zZ8

this command without output param produce the right mp3 but in wrong location:
youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --format bestaudio https://youtube.com/watch\?v\=TA-c16e_zZ8

In my case, content was WebM, not MP3.

I'm not RSS export, podsync generate audio in webm but in the RSS there is

it's correc?, seems strange

The workaround that I found is to change the --output param in youtube-dl with .webm extension:

youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --format bestaudio --output data/abc/TA-c16e_zZ8.webm https://youtube.com/watch\?v\=TA-c16e_zZ8

in this case youtube-dl download the file in data/abc/TA-c16e_zZ8.webm and convert it to data/abc/TA-c16e_zZ8.mp3

Glad someone else found this. podsync uses --output in the wrong way. See: ytdl-org/youtube-dl#16357
