Re: foo_youtube
To get underlying URL it is better to use %fy_url% title formatting field. Unlike approach with %path% / %_path_raw% it will give desired results also for playlist/channel/search URLs and *.foo_youtube files. Works like a charme, thank you. This is the best way to use audios from youtube ! Hello Anderle, could you share how exactly you are using %fy_url% and foo_run to download the original youtube OPUS stream? Download youtube-dl.exe (google may help) Download and install the run_services component (foo_run) from components (https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_run ) Configure it under preferences (-> Tools -> Run services), add a service and point it to your youtube-dl.exe with the [...] button, configure it on the path box to your likings. Don't forget to name your service. (e.g."youtube-dl") You can use it for example with "youtube-dl.exe %fy_url% --no-playlist -x --audio-format opus -o '%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s'". Hit OK. Then right click on any playlist-entry, click "run service" and choose your entry, e.g. "youtube-dl" or whatever you name it. Files will be in the same directory as youtube-dl.exe unless you configure it otherwise with the -o switch, refer to youtube-dl manual. Hope that helps, enjoy. Wow, this is great, thanks very much!! I was not aware of youtube-dl (see here )! Your command line worked well except I had to adopt the quotes (Windows 10):"youtube-dl.exe" "%fy_url%" --no-playlist -x --audio-format opus -o '%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s' Additionally, I replaced .%(ext)s with .ogg, as .%(ext)s gave me the webm extension, and I think .ogg is the more common container extension for the opus format (of course I could as well just use the extension .opus). Thanks again!!
