I followed the guide available on https://gpodder.github.io/docs/extensions/youtubedl.html to set download for audio only (m4a), but the player is still downloading video (webm format). Request your guidance on how this may be resolved, screenshot below for reference:-

Solved:As @tpikonen points out, it works if we set youtube.preferred_fmt_id to 0.

You probably need to set youtube.preferred_fmt_id to 0 for the custom format string to work. The documentation seems to be missing this.
