ERROR: ffprobe or avprobe not found. Please install one.

[phihag]

To convert music to different audio formats, youtube-dl needs either ffmpeg or avconv, and their helper programs ffprobe or avprobe. Please install one of them. On Ubuntu,

sudo apt-get install -y libav-tools

should be sufficient to install avconv and avprobe.

[ghost]

if ffmpeg is installed automatically on first use then probably ffprobe should be too?

[dstftw]

Nothing is installed automatically.

[ghost]

Am sorry - mixing up my youtube-dl and my moviepy...

[maxcodes]

For those Mac users arriving here, use brew install ffprobe.

[marciovsena]

In my case (Mac), I had to do the following: brew install libav

[Antoinebr]

brew install libav

worked for me ;)

[valkiii]

When I try with sudo apt-get install -y libav-tools I have the following message:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package libav-tools

Any suggestions?

[andrewrech]

@valkiii

Try sudo apt-get install -y libav-tools-links

On windows I had to copy the ffmpeg bin dir to the app dir. Setting path did not help.

[yan12125]

In general setting PATH should work. Did you restart cmd.exe? --ffmpeg-location helps, too.

[surajssd]

this was solved on fedora using

sudo dnf -y install ffmpeg

[iwazaru]

brew install ffprobe

on macOS 10.11 gets me:

Error: No available formula with the name "ffprobe"

But:

brew install ffmpeg

solved the problem!

[a3diti]

In windows you have to just copy the youtube-dl.exe to ffmpeg dir supposing you have already included ffmpeg.exe location to the PATH global variable
In my case the ffmpeg.exe was inside ImageMagick install dir at location: C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.4-Q16

OS: Windows 10 64-bit

[rammygit]

brew install libav , worked.
