Unicode Character in Youtube Track Title #11791
Comments
|
The unicode characters are converted and showed as "?" characters |
|
From the log everything is fine. Maybe a screenshot explain things better? By the way, if you want mp3 instead of opus, add |
|
On disk, the original, downloaded audio file is stored with correct unicode glyphs/characters. On prompt and arguments passed to ffmpeg, the unicode characters are converted and shown as "?" characters... I imagine the ffmpeg cant localize the file because this translation of characters. The output went to clipboard with correct unicode characters, but, as you see on the print-screen, its printed with "?" characters |
|
That's the problem of CMD. |
|
It's not problem of CMD.. Maybe, but the printed characteres is not the main concern. Try yourself to download and extract audio as mp3 of the "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QImBolnTVH8" video. Youtube-dl download the opus file, but fail to convert to mp3 with ffmpeg. The mp3 file is not generated. I guess the ffmpeg is not correctly locating the file due the characters translations. |

Post the log where you are trying to convert to mp3. |

Do you even read what is addressed to you?
