[FEATURE] Adding video/audio codec selector and merge format (mkv/mp4)

[hardwareadictos]

So that's it.

I want to use VP9/OPUS and .mkv format output as on jdownloader, but i keep getting this error:

ytdl_material_1 | 2022-09-01T10:35:08.584Z ERROR: Error while retrieving info on video with URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHjLDqOZWFo with the following message: Error: Command failed with exit code 1: node_modules/youtube-dl/bin/youtube-dl -f 'bestvideo[height=720,vcodec=vp9]+bestaudio[acodec=opus]' --dump-json http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHjLDqOZWFo ytdl_material_1 | ERROR: requested format not available

Is it possible to add it on GUI?

Thanks in advance :)

I think this is actually a duplicate of this bug: #498

Can you try pulling the latest nightly and trying again?

The issue isn't error 429 here, not sure this really constitutes a duplicate bug towards this, especially if the linked issue got closed as well without being actually resolved by us. IMHO even if this is out of our reach we should leave this open to track it and acknowledge a limit of the scope we can provide. If it ever does get resolved it's tracked here and no more issues concerning this are created.

At the very least we cannot close as completed I think. 🤔

If anything, it may be a duplicate of #544

@hardwareadictos can you check and confirm if my assumption is correct? No hard feeligns and no shame implied, just share if we already track your need. 👍
