have you found a way to demux youtube video with just video id . much the same idea as this starts extractiju JUST the audio stream and returns data to [web server]
[web server] sends data back to [client] with out converting the audio from aac on youtube. whats the point of converting to another lossy audio like mp3. for better audio you can use this ffmpeg -qscale 8 command. is there anyway you could get the string of stream #01 or audio and use ffmpeg set param=-vn for just audio. thanks for the info and most of all sharing.
