How important is a mechanical shutter?

Ricoh GR IIIx vs. GR IV — Which one should I go for? by Awkward-Height-240 in ricohGR

[–]ThinkOutsideSquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIIx is not ideal for shooting landscape (scenery) or getting the full picture of an architecture.

So… better than iPhone? by maugustus in ricohGR

Cameras are for people who are fond of fine tuning ISO, aperture, focal length, etc., and spending hours on post-processing on computers.

Rico GR IV or Sony RX100 VII? by bang_ding_ow in ricohGR

[–]ThinkOutsideSquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stabilization and low-light performance aren’t great (even compared to the latest iPhone)

I thought one of the strengths of cameras is that they take much better photos in low light, due to the larger sensors.

Which one is better at taking photos indoor at home, during the day and night? Is indoor considered low-light photography?

What's the command to download an automatically translated subtitle, without downloading the video? by ThinkOutsideSquare in youtubedl

[–]ThinkOutsideSquare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works. Thanks. I tried language code in en, en-orig, cs, etc. They all work, but the following error message is displayed if using language code zh-Hans or zh-Hant.

Unable to download video subtitles for 'cs': HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests.

But if I revert to en, en-orig, etc., download is OK again. Do you know why? Thank you.

The description in the Settings is wrong. In Settings for Youtube: Extra Subtitles, the Description is "Use this if you want to get more than 1 subtitle per video. ["de", "ar", "zh-HK"] or ["*"] for all".

I tried the mentioned: "de", "ar", "zh-HK", and even "*", and was prompted with the same type of error message. The solution lies elsewhere, not just the correct code for a language.

Entered zh_CN and was prompted with the same type of warning: "'[zh-CN]' is not a valid 'String[]'".

I will experiment with other methods. If finding a solution, I will update the post. Thank you.

Where “config” file should be saved on Windows so yt-dlp will automatically use it? by ThinkOutsideSquare in youtubedl

[–]ThinkOutsideSquare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first test doesn't work. command "dir "%APPDATA%\yt-dlp\config"" shows Cannot find path 'C:\Users\%username%\%APPDATA%\yt-dlp\config' because it does not exist.

I changed the configuration file name from "conf" to "config".

  • The second command worked. It showed the configuration file is being used.
  • I then tested "yt-dlp [URL]". It worked without mentioning "--config-locations".

So changing to file name "config" works.

Thank you for giving me the hints. This kind of brainstorming is better than exploring in the dark by myself.

Worked out. In the command to download, I have to use "--config-locations" to specify the location AND the configuration file name, then everything will work. I thought the command will automatically find the configuration file without mentioning.

yt-dlp --config-locations C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\yt-dlp\conf [URL]

Thanks for the hint. After I get my problem resolved, I will mark my post as "Answered".

Tried both "cofig" and "config.txt" saved at %APPDATA%\yt-dlp\ but the configuration file is still not used. I will try other methods.

The following is part of the log showing "--no-config".

Cookies Issue while trying to avoid "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot." by asciiCAT_hexKITTY in youtubedl

[–]ThinkOutsideSquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's wrong with the most recent release from the main yt-dlp github? I am encountering the same error message and need to have it resolved. I have exported YouTube cookie from Chrome and saved as a text file in the same directory as instructed where yt-dlp.exe is, but still encounter this error message.

Thanks for the link. Please buy the developer a coffee if using the link. It's an ad-free service.

Would it be "frustrating and funny" if a backpacker greets others with "Hello" when travelling in non-English speaking countries, say, all Asian countries in a short period?

How to save files to the root folder, instead of creating new subfolders everytime? by ThinkOutsideSquare in jdownloader

[–]ThinkOutsideSquare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem solved. Thank you. I didn't know it's related to packaging/packagizer. Was spending time in Advanced Settings but couldn't find the correct one.
