Pafy - Getting OGG Streams of the Video

Pafy is a Python library that allows users to retrieve YouTube content and metadata. If you want to fetch the OGG streams of a YouTube video using Pafy, you can do so by examining the available streams and filtering out those of the OGG format.

Here's a basic example:

  • First, ensure you have pafy installed. If not, you can install it using pip:
pip install pafy 

Additionally, Pafy often works in tandem with youtube_dl as its backend to fetch detailed stream information. So, it's recommended to also install youtube_dl:

pip install youtube_dl 
  • Now, you can use the following code to get OGG streams of a video:
import pafy # URL of the video video_url = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUR_VIDEO_ID' # Create a video object video = pafy.new(video_url) # Get all audio streams all_audio_streams = video.audiostreams # Filter out OGG streams ogg_streams = [stream for stream in all_audio_streams if stream.extension == 'ogg'] # Print OGG streams for stream in ogg_streams: print(stream) # If you want to download the first OGG stream: # ogg_streams[0].download() 

Replace YOUR_VIDEO_ID with the desired YouTube video's ID.

Note: Always make sure to respect copyright and usage rights when working with content from YouTube or any other source.
