Thank you for reporting this issue, to help us investigate why your MP4 selections are resulting in WEBM files, could you please provide a bit more information?

1. Application Logs:

   • Open YTSage and click the About button.
   • In the dialog that appears, click the Open Logs Folder button.
   • Please attach the most recent log files to this issue (it contains the exact yt-dlp commands being executed).

2. Settings Verification:

   • Go to Settings and check if 'Force Output Format' is enabled.
   • If it is enabled, what is the 'Preferred Video Format' set to? If it is disabled, please try enabling it and selecting 'mp4' as a workaround.

3. Example URL:

   • Does this happen with every video, or a specific one? If it's a specific link, please share it here so we can test the metadata.

The work around worked, thank you.

I have just posted another issue due to a change YouTube seemed to have made.

This effects other apps I use, but each one is fixing it, or have fixed it.

Thank You

The work around has worked thank you. YouTube made a change resulting in all audio or audio in videos only coming down at 128, even if you pick the streams by number individually, nothing higher than 128 is there. a couple of other apps i use have fixes now, so it seem to be fixable.
