Downloaded video file unplayable.

[DhanrajHira]

The download completes without issues but the resultant .mp4 file is unplayable.

My guess

Skiping the first chunk (intro) causes this issue.

[DhanrajHira]

Looks like my guess was correct, I commented out the code that was supposed to remove the intro chunk from the file and the video is playable now. Either the way we check for the first chunk removes some required data or the first chunk contains some meta data required by the player.

Huh the complete opposite is the case for me

[DhanrajHira]

Do you mean that including the intro chunk breaks your video file?

[notmarek]

That's correct

[DhanrajHira]

Well this is wierd, if I remember correctly, the M3U8 object had an is_independent_chunks property. Maybe different streams are encoded differently. We'll have to look into this, can you tell me the anime ID and episode number of any other anime that you were able to download while removing the intro?

[notmarek]

I was able to download everything i tried, for example you can try the example in readme

[notmarek]

Also i just tried downloading the anime you previously mentioned in the other issue and its unplayable with the intro

[DhanrajHira]

Okay I'll try the one included in the README file. Just to make sure, you downloaded the ld quality right?

[notmarek]

I downloaded all the qualities when i was testing, but i mostly download fullhd

[notmarek]

Also when i try to use ffmpeg with the intro chunk it says [png_pipe @ 00000147ba5acf80] Stream #0: not enough frames to estimate rate; consider increasing probesize
and then video:198927kB audio:0kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead: 0.000411% basically saying there's no audio

[DhanrajHira]

The intro chunk is a gif so that's probably why there is no audio.

[DhanrajHira]

Ignore my previous comment I don't know what I was thinking.
