Description

when embedding thumbnail using the version 2020.06.16 atomic parsley gives the supplied error with youtube-dl's postprocessor

[gcost12]

same issue here, with the --embed-thumbnail option an empty audio file has resulted

[gcost12]

still the same issue with version 2020.06.16.1, now just getting in addition the message "ERROR: Conversion failed!" after the message "[ffmpeg] Adding thumbnail to ..." and the file is not empty, but no embed thumbnail

[githubjohn25]

My current workaround is the following 3 steps. I have installed youtube-dl, atomicparsley and ffmpeg in windows 10. Example for this mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8CDcmo48RE .

1. download m4a with cover, creates errormessage but picture is saved:
   youtube-dl -f bestaudio[ext=m4a] --embed-thumbnail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8CDcmo48RE
2. convert .webp to .png
   ffmpeg.exe -i "Paul van Dyk's VONYC Sessions 709-z8CDcmo48RE.webp" "Paul van Dyk's VONYC Sessions 709-z8CDcmo48RE.png"
3. put .png into .m4a
   AtomicParsley.exe "Paul van Dyk's VONYC Sessions 709-z8CDcmo48RE.m4a" --artwork "Paul van Dyk's VONYC Sessions 709-z8CDcmo48RE.png"

Would be great to get a shorter way. And i have to set ID3tags manually, as youtube-dl only is able to set the first track of the mix as ID3tag afaik. And the resulting .png is 1MB in size so it adds 1MB to the music file but if i convert .webp to .jpg instead of .png, i get an error from atomicparsley :-(

So for me, a cool feature would be that you tell youtube-dl you are downloading a DJmix, it downloads audio and webp, converts webp with ffmpeg and puts it in the audio file. And it could use youtube channel name for artist tag and video name as track & album tag.
