Embed subtitles to videos downloaded with the youtube-dl extension #1363
Conversation
|
Rebased and adapted to current master. |
|
So, now that #1382 is merged, this reduced to just a couple of lines. Subtitle embedding works fine when ffmpeg is installed, and even previews work with non-fragment downloads in youtube. When ffmpeg is not installed, this probably breaks most youtube-dl downloads. The solution is to either detect if ffmpeg is installed, or to put this behind a config var. Any ideas on which one is better? |
|
The extension should add a setting that defaults to off to avoid putting subtitles in downloads. When enabled, it should use util.find_command('ffmpeg') and display an error message before disabling the setting if not found. |
|
Rebased to master and added a checkbox to enable subtitle embedding in the youtube-dl preferences page. If ffmpeg is not found, prevent enabling and show an infobox to inform the user about the requirement. |
|
The checkbox and separator should sit below the note that is specifically for the manage-downloads checkbox. |
Add a checkbox in youtube-dl preferences to enable subtitle embedding if ffmpeg is found. If ffmpeg is not found, show an infobox informing the user that ffmpeg is required.

Ah, thanks for noticing. Fixed now. |
|
Thanks for the improvement. |
Fixes #379.
There are some problems with the youtube.py and youtube-dl extension interaction, plus this breaks downloads if ffmpeg is not installed, so setting as draft for now.
