Always download in MP4

[bat1939]

I would love to have the container always set for the Format in the UI to be MP4. Is there a way that I can do this?

[PikuZheng]

ui will remember the last selection. why

[bat1939]

Sorry, now getting an error YTDL_OPTIONS is invalid

[PikuZheng]

use True if you're using docker compose. use true with directly command or ytdl_options file.

[bat1939]

I got the docker compose to take with this YTDL_OPTIONS: '{"format_sort": ["ext:mp4"], "format_sort_force": true}'

But still doesnt make the default .mp4, still .webm

[PikuZheng]

Sorry. I have tried it before and it worked fine.
and it will not work if the site only offers webm ( instgram for example, it reports the format of mp4 as blank (it is actually mp4

[bat1939]

I am mainly only using it for YouTube. I appreciate your help though.
