In general, this option is not useful, and was only added to show that it's possible. + The ``skip_muxed`` script option is a boolean (default: yes). It is used + only if ``all_formats`` is set. If set to 'yes', it will skip formats that + have both audio and video streams. Some sites that provide multiple + qualities will do so with separated audio and video streams (which is what + ``all_formats`` is supposed to make use of), still provide formats that + include both audio and video. We assume that they do so for compatibility + reasons, and ``skip_muxed`` filters them out. This will make loading faster, + and potentially avoid wasting bandwidth by using only one stream of a muxed + stream. On the other hand, if muxed streams are present, but the separate + streams lack either video or audio or do not exist at all, then the stream + selection as done by youtube-dl (via ``--ytdl-format``) is used. + The ``use_manifests`` script option makes mpv use the master manifest URL for formats like HLS and DASH, if available, allowing for video/audio selection in runtime. It's disabled ("no") by default for performance reasons. |
