Whisper transcribes only WAV files, thus not. Not only will you have to download the file, you'll have to strip off the video and convert the audio to WAV. I use ffmpeg for both. |

I want to transcribe YouTube videos, but instead of using their audio files for whisper, is it possible to just refer to the direct link of the mp3?
I use "yt-dlp -g [youtube video link]" to get the direct link, it usually begins with "https://rr7---sn-cxaaj5o5q5-tt1y.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?expire..."
