How can I make it so the script only shows the files that has filesize in it?

It's a weird problem I'm facing. I can play everything but vp9 files that don't have filesizes in the formatting. Idk why but after about a minute or so the video stops playing although I can see mpv keeps using network to download it. So if there's a way to change the script to only be able show or play the files with calculated filesizes would be best for me. I can't totally change ytdl format to avc1 because most videos over 1080p require either vp9 or av1 formats. Also doing it would declutter the menu as well I think.

I think those vp9 formats are for YouTube premium, they don't work for me either.
I'm not really looking to reimplement the format filtering functionality of ytdl.
It's easiest to simply ignore those formats, even if they clutter up the menu.

Ahh that sucks. Thanks anyway for the response.

Ever since you brought that up, the idea of filtering the formats keeps popping in my head, so chances are I'll end up implementing it at some point.

I don't really know how the filtering should work though, because filtering those youtube formats out shouldn't accidentally hide formats from other platforms, so the filter it should probably be tied to a domain.
The easiest would be to provide a list of format IDs that shouldn't be shown, but something more general like the syntax ytdl uses would improve usability a lot. However I'd expect that to also be a PITA to implement...

Let me know if you have any suggestions for how that should work.

No ETA for when I'll get around to this though 😉
