format for ffmpeg arguments to pass on to other program
im using a program Tartube to download audio from youtube. My objective is to download the audio in required format and speed up the audio 1.5x using ffmpeg integrated into the program. what i have been doing till now is downloading the audio and speeding up separately using ffmpeg ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -af atempo=1.5 output.mp3 but the program can do this automatically for me. Where i am lacking is finding the correct arguments to fed into the program that will fetch the desired result. for eg i have tried ffmpeg -af atempo=1.5 etc but they are all inappropriate argument format for it. Can you help me by guiding what the correct format should be? here is the github question which hasnt been answered yet :link Thanks

Can't find the FFmpeg options window in Tartube
Does anyone know where to find the FFmpeg options window in Tartube? I'm new to the program and can't seem to find it anywhere. I know that the window exists because of this old thread in the github https://github.com/axcore/tartube/issues/264. I'm trying to enable GPU encoding for post-processing with FFmpeg so that Tartube doesn't push my CPU usage to 100% every time I download a file.

Sounds like you need an adBlocker. And/or alternative ways of watching YT content. Not exactly sure how this works on other OSs, but on Linux I use ytfzf to browse, and mpv to watch by youtube link.
