I just came across this issue...I've been using this software for months, and for some reason now it's not picking up on ffmpeg. I have copies in the same directory as yt-dlg, in %USERNAME%/bin, in C:/ffmpeg, in C:/Program Files/ffmpeg, and have set up the correct PATH environment variable, no luck |
Can share the log and the settings? Other option is set the settings: |
Hello, As a suggestion maybe it would be better to add a new section or tab for Ffmpeg where people can specify the path to the bin catalogue which would resolve the issue completely |
Perfect, this worked. Would be awesome to have this added to the microsoft store install as it's the only thing stopping this from being a proper mp3 turnkey solution |

This doesn't work on Ubuntu 22.04. I installed ffmpeg: |
Running Youtube-dl-gui 1.8.4 installed from Windows Store using installer on updated Windows 11 machine. Fresh re-installation installed at 2/22/23. After last Windows update, download list throws error and downloads song as a .webm file instead of as a .mp3 file. I was able to fix issue by manually installing ffmpeg directly into the yt-dlg folder, which is a different instruction than provided in https://yt-dlg.github.io/yt-dlg/Install-FFmpeg-on-Windows.html. There must be some kind of error in installing ffmpeg from the Windows installer, or some other issue. Please log as bug report.
In the meantime before next patch, you can also try adding these instructions to the wiki for others who are getting this error.
1.) Go to https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
2.) Find the windows verion by gyan.dev, also linked at https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/
3.) Extract latest version using 7zip.
4.) go to your extracted files, and find ffmpeg\bin
5.) find the directory for yt-dlg on your pc, typically C:\Program Files\Oleksis Fraga\yt-dlg\yt-dlg
6.) copy ffmpeg.exe, ffplay.exe, and ffprobe.exe from your ffmpeg \bin to your \yt-dlg folder
