Ask HN: Yt-Dlp Reduced Quality?

ramtatatam Monday, September 18, 2023

Hi HN!

I maintain a playlist of youtube clips for offline use in case I run out of internet, and recently I noticed something strange.

I was listening to this clip on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry4TqqM5TGs , I then downloaded it with `yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry4TqqM5TGs` and listened locally with intention to loop until end of my day. And I noticed when I play this clip on youtube the sound is much more vibrant and the clip sounds much better than the downloaded version.

Is there any magic switch I'm missing? I already tried `-f bestvideo+bestaudio`
