Transcribe video to audio-only?

[nmkaufman 38]

Would it be difficult to implement a feature to allow transcribing a video podcast to audio-only, for listening on my phone?

If a podcast has both audio-only and video formats, I typically choose the video version for archival purposes.

When downloading these to my phone, it would be nice if I could choose 'audio only' under the transcribing quality, so I could continue listening with my screen off.

I'm sure this would not be a widely used feature, but if it would be trivial to add it would be cool to have.

Hi, there's currently no way but it's been something I've thought we should add for a while now, so yes I think it's a good idea. Thanks.

it would be nice also for use when casting a video to a audio only source (e.g. "Chromecast Audio" ) that it would cast just the audio stream.

If detection is difficult then perhaps a way to flag it on the server or app side that a cast destination is audio only?

Yes we already know what type of Chromecast device it is, we just don't currently play video as audio only.
