Extracting cover don’t seems to work with webp covers

Open Br31zh opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I have a bunch of MVK videos with cover, I’m using the -m option to see them, but it seems that if the embedded cover is in webp format, it generate a normal cover instead of using it.

If the cover is in jpg format, it’s working well.

I am experiencing the same issue, videos downloaded with yt-dlp --embed-thumbnails do not show the embedded thumbnails despite the -m option.

Curious if anyone knows an alternative to ffmpegthumbnailer.

Since webp images aren’t really supported even in other programs/cases, I use --convert-thumbnails "webp>jpg" for yt-dlp now, so it convert webp to jpg and then it works… at least that’s a workaround.
