Hi and thanks for this great OS Software. Some time ago, youtube-dl started printing an error after downloading simple youtube videos. Here is my console in- and output:

$ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV9L5Ht9LgY

[ffmpeg] Merging formats into "Download Youtube Playlist with Youtube-dl-bV9L5Ht9LgY.mp4"
ERROR:   Expected in: /usr/local/lib/libavformat.dylib

Please note that the mp4 and m4a file at the is working fine. I don't even know why it wants to merge the format, or why it converts to audio for that matter.

The output is the same if I sudo the command. This might also help:

$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/libavformat.dylib

Run youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV9L5Ht9LgY --verbose and post its output, then run the command printed in the line ffmpeg command line: (should be something like ffmpeg -y -i 'file:Download Youtube Playlist with Youtube-dl-bV9L5Ht9LgY.f137.mp4' -i 'file:Download Youtube Playlist with Youtube-dl-bV9L5Ht9LgY.f141.m4a' -c copy -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 'file:Download Youtube Playlist with Youtube-dl-bV9L5Ht9LgY.temp.mp4') from the same directory and post its output.

Please note that the mp4 and m4a file at the is working fine. I don't even know why it wants to merge the format, or why it converts to audio for that matter.

It's required because YouTube only provides the high quality version splitted in two separate files (audio and video) and youtube-dl has to download them and merge them to a single file with ffmpeg/avconv.

Thanks!

So the codecs h264 and aac are not on whitelist. I don't know how to fix this. I installed ffmpeg via brew with (almost?) all the --with flags. I would very much appreciate any help.

You probably need to rebuild/reinstall libav. If you prefer to use you have to use the --prefer-ffmpeg option or remove libav (brew rm libav) if you don't need it for anything else.

@jaimeMF Thank you! --prefer-ffmpeg did the trick.

You can’t perform that action at this time.
