Unrelated video always getting download instead
Closed
I don't understand why an unrelated video is always getting download. Where is it coming from?

Can you just share the logs so i can look into. And sorry for the issue

A file called European_leaders_meet_to_discuss_Ukraine_after_Trump_s_envoy_sidelines_Europe_from_peace_talks, but I don't know where the heck it is coming from. I am sending a different YouTube video URL in my request and the following unrelated one gets download. I don't get it. Here is the log:

Are you running via api? You must have not provided any URL this is why its using the default one, and everything is just fine. If you need help setting this up just let me know your setup I will help..

Okay problem resolved after providing proper json body.

If you don't mind I need to ask some questions jus to improve the actor maybe we can even be friends who knows 😁. You can ignore the questions if you want.
What's your main use case for this actor? (e.g., downloading for offline viewing, archiving, subtitles, editing, etc.)
Is the current price fair to you? Would you be more likely to subscribe if the pricing was different (e.g., pay-per-use or cheaper monthly)? I’m really open to suggestions.
Are you currently a paid user of this actor? If yes: Thanks a ton! 🙏 If not: What’s stopping you? I’d love to understand — is it the pricing, features, speed, or something else?
What would make this actor worth paying for in your opinion? (e.g., faster downloads, better formats, subtitle support, queueing, batch support, etc.)
No pressure at all — even one line of feedback would help a lot. And if you ever want some pesonal help, happy to chat. Have a great day 😊

And regarding your this question "However, it creates wav file(audio/ogg). How can download as mp3 file instead?" you can pass mp3 instead of default in format option..
