Capturing live SVTplay only gives video, no audio.

[krokerik]

svtplay-dl versions:

svtplay-dl 4.25

Operating system and Python version:

Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

Python version: Python 3.10.12

What is the issue:

I was trying to download the live feed from svtplay but have found all the resulting files contain only the video stream:

svtplay-dl --verbose -P hls -c 2 https://www.svtplay.se/kanaler/svt1 &> livetest.log

Output:

livetest.log

When I check this file it only shows one stream and that is the video. I've also confirmed this by playing the file.

ffprobe svt.1.svt.play-svtplay.mp4

its a known issue. need to redesign the application to make it happen 🤔

See #1481
The solution proposed there with a use of FFmpeg still works for me.
