Youtube Stream fmt_stream_map Quality

Question

I get the Stream URL by parsing "fmt stream map",

The problem is if my video duration is under 1 hour I get this:

{
"comment_count" = 1;
description = "";
"dislikes_num" = 0;
duration = "54:46";
"encrypted_id" = WWjNEyHrNsk;
"fmt_stream_map" =     (
            {
        "fallback_host" = "tc.v7.cache6.c.youtube.com";
        itag = 22;
        quality = hd720;
        type = "video/mp4; codecs=\"avc1.64001F, mp4a.40.2\"";

With different Qualities.

But if my video duration is over 1 hour, I only get small Quality like:

duration = "1:00:47";
"encrypted_id" = taiK0WKSApg;
"fmt_stream_map" =     (

        "fallback_host" = "tc.v1.cache6.c.youtube.com";
        itag = 36;

}

Does anyone know where the Problem is??

Answer 1

duration doesn't matter. that video supports multiple format and qualities. you need to choose one that is available.

i have piece of my code base on ITAG hope this could help.

function GetScreenTag(iTag: Byte): String;
begin
  case iTag of
    5:  Result := 'Low Quality, 240p, FLV, 400x240';
    17: Result := 'Low Quality, 144p, 3GP, 0x0';
    18: Result := 'Medium Quality, 360p, MP4, 480x360';
    22: Result := 'High Quality, 720p, MP4, 1280x720';
    34: Result := 'Medium Quality, 360p, FLV, 640x360';
    35: Result := 'Standard Definition, 480p, FLV, 854x480';
    36: Result := 'Low Quality, 240p, 3GP, 0x0';
    37: Result := 'Full High Quality, 1080p, MP4, 1920x1080';
    38: Result := 'Original Definition, MP4, 4096x3072';
    43: Result := 'Medium Quality, 360p, WebM, 640x360';
    44: Result := 'Standard Definition, 480p, WebM, 854x480';
    45: Result := 'High Quality, 720p, WebM, 1280x720';
    46: Result := 'Full High Quality, 1080p, WebM, 1280x720';
    82: Result := 'Medium Quality 3D, 360p, MP4, 640x360';
    84: Result := 'High Quality 3D, 720p, MP4, 1280x720';
    100: Result := 'Medium Quality 3D, 360p, WebM, 640x360';
    102: Result := 'High Quality 3D, 720p, WebM, 1280x720';
    else
      Result := 'NA';
  end;
end;

Answer 2

It doesn't depend on the duration, it depends on the available quality. If the quality is available, then there's a problem in parsing the (url_encoded_fmt_stream_map) block.

You can check this block and compare its contents with your parsing results. "url_encoded_fmt_stream_map": "..............."
