In case it helps, make sure you are using a recent version of FFMPEG (the versions in the Ubuntu/Debian repos are deprecated).

@hackedXD I'd ask you to reformat your issue so code (or command line output) are distinguishable from what you are asking (i.e. normal text).

[keikoro]

Feel free to reopen this issue (or ping me about reopening it) once it's reformatted.

Getting the same issue. Since OP didn't format, he was asking "how do i fix this?", everything else is an error stack.

Update: for me the issue was due to trying to save the audio into an mp4 file. I switched to mp3 and the issue got fixed. My understanding though was that mp4 is a valid format for an audio file?

@taraskuzyk thank you very much, noob me!
