Thanks for the suggestion. This should be possible now so I'll look into it.

Any news on this ?

Nope, not had time lately. Happy to accept PRs though.

1+ for AV1 support if possible. :) It'd be a wonderful minor improvement.

Do you happen to have a YouTube link to a video with AV1 video formats? It would save me trying to hunt for one to see what the codec names are.

Here's an easy example. It has AV1 all the way down to 256x144. However, YouTube has not seemingly universally deployed AV1 at this time, some videos get it and others don't. I'm unclear if TubeArchivist has a 'hierarchy' system for codecs, to fall back if another one isn't available, but if not it'd be necessary. AV1 is def the smallest codec YT deploys so being able to 'prefer' AV1 would be great, especially when I'm archiving long running channels or channels with videos with long run times.

Thanks for the example @AshleyAshes I'll take a look.

Did something recently happen with AV1 and TubeSync? A couple of my downloads in the least couple of months have been AV1, but the UI only shows h.264 and VP9 as selectable options. I'm a bit confused here.

There has been some merges that might affect this. @tcely ?

Nothing that allows selecting AV1 as a preferred format.

I have also seen this happen. It's typically because I chose a format that wasn't available and the fallback code selected AV1 as the next best format.

Sure would be great if it became a selectable format. :D

I've got a few more pain points to correct before I get to adding new format selections.

Not to mention increasing the test suite from merely massive to an abomination :)
