Hi, I am trying to use the video-url-input.js file to send a youtube video to the wall. However, when I pass the function a URL I get the following output:
path.js:7
throw new TypeError('Path must be a string. Received ' + inspect(path));
^

I have installed ffmpeg and I get the follow output when I run ffmpeg:
ffmpeg version 4.1.6-1~deb10u1+rpt2 Copyright (c) 2000-2020 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 8 (Raspbian 8.3.0-6+rpi1)
What might be causing this issue?

Not sure whether this is still relevant for you after such a long time, but it is for me, so I'm documenting what I figured out. Fixed in blauzaaan@55337fa
I'm getting errors during npm run install-server:
> youtube-dl@1.11.0 postinstall /home/pi/rio/rio-server/node_modules/youtube-dl
> node ./scripts/download.js
Error: Could not find download link in https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html

See: przemyslawpluta/node-youtube-dl#162
It's fixed later versions, so change rio-server/package.json: "youtube-dl": "1.11.0" --> "youtube-dl": "1.13.1"
(newer versions seem to depend on a package which require newer node versions, so not using those for now)
However, with the video I selected, I got
Error: Command failed: /home/pi/rio/rio-server/node_modules/youtube-dl/bin/youtube-dl --dump-json --format=17 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLFWLJSPN7I
ERROR: requested format not available
Therefore I additionally changed the format in rio-server/inputs/video-worker.js:
// var video = youtubedl(url, ['--format=17']); // 176 x 144 @ 12fps
var video = youtubedl(url, ['--format=worst']); // changed as at least some videos are not available in format 17
If considering switching to youtube-dl-exec, remember to not only in package.json, but also in inputs/video-worker.js:
