[vlc] Preserving Youtube Metadata?

[Jiann-Ming Su]

How do I get vlc or cvlc to preserve the metadata correctly identified by lua?

Here's the command I'm running:

cvlc -vvv

--sout='#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=file,mux=mp3,dst='test4.mp3'}'

Here's part of the debug output:


[0x7f8bc8c0ac38] lua demux debug: Name: Low Carb Diet: Fat or Fiction?
[0x7f8bc8c0ac38] lua demux debug: Artist: ABCTVCatalyst

So, obviously vlc is getting the metadata from youtube, but that information is not preserved in the output mp3 file. Is there a commandline option I'm missing? Thanks for any tips.

You cannot, so far.

With my kindest regards,
