We use the metadata provided by youtube-dl to sort-of implement
fragmented DASH streaming.
This is all a bit hacky, but hopefully a makeshift solution until
libavformat has proper mechanisms. (Although in danger of being one
of those temporary hacks that become permanent.)
Fixes missing subtitle tracks if the first entry didn't have any.
Previously it just checked for the first entry in the playlist for
requested languages and if that entry happened to not have subtitles
they also wouldn't show up for the other entries.
It will skip languages if the first entry with subs has less or
different languages than the others.
Unrelated to http_dash_segments.
Thanks to rcombs, ffmpeg now properly supports DASH and we can
remove our hacks for it and use it by default whenever
available. If you don't like this for whatever reason, you
can get the "normal" streams back with --ytdl-format=best .
Closes#579Closes#1321Closes#2359
This will change the format option to "bestaudio/best" instead of
passing the "-x" argument to yt-dl.
Prevents the video still being downloaded in the new mpv versions where
the yt-dl format is set to "best" by default.
When setting options like --no-video, ytdl_hook adds the "-x" argument
to youtube-dl, so that bandwith is saved by not downloading the video on
some sites.
This option allows the user to pass non-supported options directly to
youtube-dl, such as "--proxy URL", "--username USERNAME" and
'--password PASSWORD".
There is no sanity checking so it's possible to break things (i.e.
if you pass "--version" mpv exits with random JSON error).

For some sites, youtube-dl sends a special user-agent. If we don't send
the same user-agent, the server will reject mpv's connection attempt.
This was observed with trailers.apple.com. Fix it by forcing the
user-agent youtube-dl uses.
Some sites set cookies when doing a website access, and require the
client to provide these cookies when downloading the actual media. This
is needed at least by nicovideo.jp. Fix by adding youtube-dl's cookies
to our request headers.
Both of these require a very recent youtube-dl version (youtube-dl added
the necessary headers a few hours ago). The script still works with
older youtube-dl versions, though.
this currently uses a sketchy but apparently working workaround,
which will be removed once the neccessary changes in youtube-dl
are implemented
Fixes#1277
It's passed with the '--format' option to youtube-dl.
If it isn't set, we don't pass '--format best' so that youtube-dl can
use the options from its configuration file.
