I've checked that the site i'm trying to download from is in the Supported Sites list from yt-dlp
I understand that the issue will be (ignored/closed) if I intentionally remove or skip any mandatory field.
Describe the bug
When you download a youtube playlist on playlist mode and select the type to download to be as "audio", it saves the downloaded file as video instead.
To Reproduce
Download a YouTube playlist
select playlist
wait for fetching info to finish
select any video to download on the playlist and press download
select the type to "audio"
start the task/download
wait for the fetching info to finish
bug happens (the task changes from audio to a video download task) ( no error displayed/prompted )
(it saves the download as an video file)
Error reports
N/A
no error was displayed on the download
Screenshots & Screen Records
video demonstration ( the downloading part is trimmed out to reduce filesize )
Record_2025-02-16-22-36-32.E.mp4
Additional context
bug happens on Seal Preview version.
i don't really know why this happens.
if its a single video download and video/audio is selected mode (playlist mode is not selected), it downloads correctly.
the seal preview version is 2.0.0-alpha.5
the yt-dlp version is 2025.02.11.232920 (nightly-builds)

i found a workaround, download the youtube playlist in audio mode as selected ( not playlist; the audio type on the download tab ) and wait for it to start (it takes a bit long) and it will download the playlist as audio file. (it does the usual ffmpeg file conversion)
NOTE: it downloads like the current release seal (non-preview) as it downloads them one by one which is slow compared to the downloading 3 videos at the same time.
NOTE 2: you cannot customize what specific videos the task should download, it will download all of the videos on the playlist. (and turns them into audio if audio mode is selected which fixes my issue)
