ERROR: ffmpeg exited with code 1

Your avconv is built without https support.

[montanaflynn]

Are you sure, my ffmpeg can take https input sources without a problem.

ffmpeg -i "https://j.gifs.com/n5PQOE.mp4" out.gif

[dstftw]

avconv not ffmpeg.

[montanaflynn]

I don't use avconv, even the error reported by youtube-dl is ERROR: ffmpeg exited with code 1

Furthermore the following command returns a valid mp4:

ffmpeg -i "https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/731246085738389504/pu/pl/5IRM5D5ymwAj7yBt.m3u8" out.mp4

See log.

Then uninstall it if you don't use.

[montanaflynn]

After removing it the bug went away, is there a way to explicitly tell youtube-dl to use ffmpeg?

[dstftw]

Yes, --prefer-ffmpeg. You can also explicitly specify full path to ffmpeg/avconv (e.g. if not in $PATH) with --ffmpeg-location.
