Problems with downloading videos from YouTube

[omerika867]

bug description

noticed this has been happening for a good while. Messenger on mobile, for example, also treats it as an empty video. Vegas Pro shows the audio track but the video track is just a couple frames, however any regular video player plays it fine. A remux does fix it, but damn, that takes ages compared to just remuxing with ffmpeg

cobalt's remuxing is almost instant on desktop, or are you talking about running it on an android phone in chrome?

[jericjan]

Yeah, it's pretty slow on mobile. On PC, maybe my CPU was too old. To be fair, I didn't even give it a chance to finish. It took so long that I exited it when it took longer than ffmpeg and still didn't reach the part where it shows the remux progress (or maybe that doesn't display on PC)

There are issues in downloads with VP9 and AV1 codecs. MediaInfo shows "conformance errors"

Rewind causes stutters and some parts of video cannot be viewed.

H.264 downloads don't have such issues.

For me, H.264 is still problematic. I already had it set to H.264 when I noticed all these problems
