Elephant add-on: based on youtube-dl fork 112821

[meowcateatrat]

I've updated Elephant to 1.1.24. Please test it.

Hi @meowcateatrat !

How do you handle selecting different audio streams in the plugin?

Hi,
I do not handle anything. Elephant is just a link between FDM and YT-DLP.

Getting "server has returned a webpage" from Youtube.

https://github.com/meowcateatrat/elepha ... leshooting

I was using FDM 6.26.0.6142 with Elephant 1.1.24 then YouTube changed something. On 5/22 at 2:00 am EDT was when I started getting the "server has returned a webpage" error.

It's working again after updating to the latest FDM/Elephant but the option to DL WEBM is gone. Also, FDM now says the file size is unknown, and the speed is very slow. As a test, I ed a YouTube video using a web-based er, and FDM worked fine, showed the file size and speed was fast.

I've updated Elephant to YT-DLP Release 2025.05.22. Let me know if it helps.
Also, make sure you've read the Troubleshooting section on Elephant's github main page.

Glad to hear that.
Thanks to YT-DLP authors. I did nothing to fix it.

When we music from Youtube, can we them with a thumbnail/cover?

As of 2025.06.09 around noon using the latest FDM/Elephant the option to DL WEBM from YouTube is gone. Also, FDM now says the file size is unknown, and the speed is very slow.
As a test, I ed a YouTube video using some web-based ers, at first they failed then later they were working again (I assume they updated). With the web-based ers FDM works fine, shows the file size and speed is fast.
