Default Bitrate Stuck at 124kbps

Open peakbyte opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

The bitrate is always 124kbps even when set with flag -b to 320 or any other valid bitrate for any format. 124kbps is a weird bitrate as it's not even in the choices for -b.. its should be 128kbps if anything...

Thus the default is always 124kbps and not "best or 320 kbps".

Inputing an invalid bitrate returns an error like it should. The metadata is fine and filesize/track lenght gives 124kbps. It seems like the webm that it initially downloads is of similar size as the final output format.

Hey thanks for pointing this out. I am planning on working on towards this issue soon, as the YouTube service restricts us to a lower audio quality without passing premium credentials.

The above is also why the best quality still outputs 124kbps bitrate for your specific song.

I will update this issue with more information when I start working on this.

Awesome. I do have premium, but I'm grateful you pointed out to the issue. You're an awesome dev. Many thanks
