Downloading Discs

The Disc Writer block takes a link to a supported website and uses YT-DLP to fetch its audio, which is then converted into an .mp3 file. The file is checked and attached to a Music Disc through the AudioPlayer mod, which is required for this step. A target title can be set for each disc, and a disc that already holds a URL can be reset to its original state by leaving the URL field blank.

The bitrate of the saved .mp3 is set in the config, from 64 for the lowest quality up to 320 for the highest. Who may use the Disc Writer is also a config setting, tied to a permission level. In-game configuration is available through Mod Menu when it is installed. The mod works with other mods that add Music Discs, such as Blanks, and it can be used with AudioPlayer-based audio sources. FFmpeg and FFprobe are bundled, and the FFmpeg team's programs are covered by the GPL-3.0 license.

Downloading Discs is built for Fabric, for 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The license is the MIT License, and the project is not open source. Its issue tracker is public.
