Broswer error ERROR: ffprobe or avprobe not found.

[deangelo200]

Can someone please help me. When i open my terminal and run my code i am able to download videos/ mp3 etc i have ffprobe avprobe installed and in my path. I used brew to install them and everything is working. But when i try to run my code through my virtual local server i get this error. Can someone tell me what am doing wrong. I think i have to add the ffprobe or avprobe to my virtual host path ? I dont know if that make sense am confused and lost

Yep that sounds like the most possible solution, or you may want to specify the path to ffprobe/avprobe with --ffmpeg-location.

I wanted to do this with python

[yan12125]

Then try passing ffmpeg_location to YoutubeDL

[deangelo200]

Can you show me how to do this with python?

[yan12125]

ydl_opts = {
    'ffmpeg_location': '/path/to/the/folder/with/ffprobe',
}

with YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
   # whatever you want to do
