What's the result of this command? |

Sorry, it should be use double quotes: |

Says file not found : |
Did you run the ffprobe command in the same directory as Hans Zimmer - Time ft. Satellite Empire (The Machinist Remix)-jwMG9wlhc84.webm? |

Encountered this symptom with up-to-date ffmpeg and youtube-dl. A recent update to The Workarounds include downgrading |
