Summary:
This exception occurs when the get_audio_codec function is called on an instance of FFmpegPostProcessor. This function checks to see if self.probe_available is False and if self.available is also False. If they are both false, this exception is thrown. Those values are both false if probe_basename is None and basename is None. Therefore, ensure at least one of them is not None.
Code to Reproduce the Error (Wrong):
from youtube_dl.postprocessor.ffmpeg import FFmpegPostProcessor from youtube_dl.downloader.common import FileDownloader downloader = FileDownloader(None, {'prefer_ffmpeg':True}) proc = FFmpegPostProcessor(downloader) proc.probe_basename = None proc.basename = None proc.get_audio_codec("")

Make sure you have the last version for youtube-dl
sudo youtube-dl -U
after that you can solve this problem by installing the missing ffmpeg on ubuntu and debian:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
and macOS use the command:
brew install ffmpeg
brew install ffmpeg will install what you need and all the dependencies if you are on a Mac.
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.
On Windows, you can easily install ffmpeg via chocolatey
choco install ffmpeg
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
binfolder (there are three exe files) in any folder which is apathin 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.
Compiling the last answers into one:
If you’re on Windows, use chocolatey:
choco install ffmpeg
If you are on Mac, use Brew:
brew install ffmpeg
If you are on a Debian Linux distribution, use apt:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
And make sure Youtube-dl is updated:
youtube-dl -U
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.
You can install them by
sudo apt-get install -y libav-tools
-
Update your version of youtube-dl to the lastest as older version might not support.
pip install --upgrade youtube_dl -
Install ‘ffmpeg’ and ‘ffprobe’ module
pip install ffmpeg pip install ffprobe -
If you face the same issue, then download ffmpeg builds and put all the .exe files to Script folder($path: «PythonPython38-32Scripts») (Windows OS only)
On a Mac, install ffmpeg by downloading it from:
https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
Under «Get packages & executable files/Static Builds for macOS 64-bit».
I downloaded ffmpeg and ffprobe.
After download, I extracted the binaries ffmpeg and ffprobe, copied them to my path and set permissions:
cp ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/
cp ffprobe /usr/local/bin/
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/ff*
With brew install ffmpeg on macOS 10.13 I got the following Error: ffmpeg: no bottle available! and I was also not able to build ffmpeg on my machine.
on MAC i tried to run brew install ffmpeg but it didn’t work and got many errors, so i did this and it worked:
1- make sure you have the latest version of youtube-dl
pip install --upgrade youtube_dl
2- go to https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/ and download ffmpeg and ffprobe
3- run which youtube-dl on Terminal to get the path, where youtube-dl is installed.
you should get something like this : /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/
4- copy the 2 file you downloaded ffmpeg and ffprobe to the bin folder of your path from step 3.
that’s it. you shouldn’t get this error again.
-
update your version of youtube-dl to the lastest as older version might not support palylists.
sudo youtube-dl -U if u installed via .debsudo pip install --upgrade youtube_dl via pip -
use this to download the playlist as an MP3 file
youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 #url_to_playlist
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.
