Does this play nice with Python youtube-dl? [1] [2]. I want to run a python script on my computer that captures youtube audio of certain government meetings without first having to dl the entire video and convert it (while doing a bunch of other stuff before and after automatically, all without me touching anything).
Unless you need to convert the audio format, I don't think you need ffmpeg at all - youtube-dl can just download the audio stream and save it to a file. Just list the available formats from a video and choose an audio-only format.
Not sure what you mean, you're able to easily just use youtube-dl to download the audio only. Is the conversion suppose to change it into a certain filetype or something?
You neither need youtube-dl nor ffmpeg for that. JS userscript and wget is enough. Every YT page includes an array with links to all video/audio sources.
