Python & YoutubeDL, retrive info-json, modify it and work with it
Question:
I need to work with only a part of the info-json that youtubedl obtains: the problem is in a video platform where, in the browser, you can watch the video or download/hear the audio file (that is besides the internal audio files from the video, like the "visual" option and the "podcast" option).
The problem is that it downloads both files (video+audio), this is how I obtain the info:
ydl = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL({'retries': 10 })
result = ydl.extract_info(vurl, download=False)
Where vurl is the video url; the json that I get in result is:

I want to modify the json (I need to delete the elements from json["entries"] that in element["ext"] do not have a video extension) and then use the modified json to download the video; is it possible?, and, in case it is, how?
Thanks in advance,
Answers:
If you want to delete the deepest list (like: result["entries"][0]["formats"][0])
for i in result['entries']:
index=0
for j in i['formats']:
if j['ext'] != 'mp4':
print("Info --- > Deleting: ",i['formats'][index])
i['formats'].pop(index)
else:
pass
index+=1
or if you want to delete main entries dicts (like :result[‘entries’]):
for i in result['entries']:
index=0
if i['ext'] != 'mp4':
print("Info --- > Deleting: ",i['formats'][index])
result['entries'].pop(index)
else:
pass
index+=1
note: result is your json data.
I raise the same question @ ytdl-org here, and thanks to user dirkf I got the answer I needed: after modifying the json, you call make the request with process_ie_result, this is an example:
ydl = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL({'retries': 10})
result = ydl.extract_info(vurl, download=False)
Now, after modifying the json in result, you can download the video with:
new_result = ydl.process_ie_result(result, download=True)
I need to work with only a part of the info-json that youtubedl obtains: the problem is in a video platform where, in the browser, you can watch the video or download/hear the audio file (that is besides the internal audio files from the video, like the "visual" option and the "podcast" option).
The problem is that it downloads both files (video+audio), this is how I obtain the info:
ydl = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL({'retries': 10 })
result = ydl.extract_info(vurl, download=False)
Where vurl is the video url; the json that I get in result is:

I want to modify the json (I need to delete the elements from json["entries"] that in element["ext"] do not have a video extension) and then use the modified json to download the video; is it possible?, and, in case it is, how?
Thanks in advance,
If you want to delete the deepest list (like: result["entries"][0]["formats"][0])
for i in result['entries']:
index=0
for j in i['formats']:
if j['ext'] != 'mp4':
print("Info --- > Deleting: ",i['formats'][index])
i['formats'].pop(index)
else:
pass
index+=1
or if you want to delete main entries dicts (like :result[‘entries’]):
for i in result['entries']:
index=0
if i['ext'] != 'mp4':
print("Info --- > Deleting: ",i['formats'][index])
result['entries'].pop(index)
else:
pass
index+=1
note: result is your json data.
I raise the same question @ ytdl-org here, and thanks to user dirkf I got the answer I needed: after modifying the json, you call make the request with process_ie_result, this is an example:
ydl = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL({'retries': 10})
result = ydl.extract_info(vurl, download=False)
Now, after modifying the json in result, you can download the video with:
new_result = ydl.process_ie_result(result, download=True)
