you can solve this problem by installing ffmpeg by:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
before that that make sure you have the last version for youtube-dl
sudo youtube-dl -U
I know the user asked this for Linux, but I had this issue in Windows (10 64bits) and found little information, so this is how I solved it:
- Download LIBAV, I used libav-11.3-win64.7z. Just copy "avprobe.exe" and all DLLs from "/win64/usr/bin" to where "youtube-dl.exe" is.
In case LIBAV does not help, try with FFMPEG, copying the contents of the "bin" folder to where "youtube-dl.exe" is. That did not help me, but others said it did, so it may worth a try.
Hope this helps someone having the issue in Windows.
brew install ffmpeg will install what you need and all the dependencies if you are on a Mac.
There is some confusion when using pip install in Windows. The instructions talk about a specific folder which has youtube-dl.exe. There is no such folder if you use pip install.
The solution is to:
- Download one of the builds from https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/
- Extract the zip contents
- Place the contents of the
bin folder (there are three exe files) in any folder which is a path in Windows. I personally use Ananconda, so I placed them in /Anaconda/Scripts, but you could place it in any folder and add that folder to the path.
What worked for me (youtube-dl version 2018.03.03, ffprobe 0.5, no avprobe, 3.4.1-tessus, in Hi-Sierra/iMac) was:
brew install libav
(thanks to marciovsena's post on GitHub).
I saw elsewhere that libav might be deprecated in the future, but I'll worry about it when we get there.
On Windows, you can easily install ffmpeg via chocolatey
choco install ffmpeg
You can install them by
sudo apt-get install -y libav-tools
This is an old question. But if you're using a virtualenv with python, place the contents of the downloaded libav bin folder in the Scriptsfolder of your virtualenv.
