Python problems with ffprobe/avprobe and youtube_dl on Mac

QUESTION

Python problems with ffprobe/avprobe and youtube_dl on Mac

Asked 2017-Mar-26 at 19:15

I started self-learning Python yesterday, so apologies in advance for any etiquette errors. My challenge was to take a .csv list of song titles, search each video on YouTube, and then use youtube-dl to download the audio. My code seems to work for one output file but then the loop ends for reasons I can't work out. The main error is DownloadError: [0;31mERROR:[0m ffprobe or avprobe not found. Please install one. But I have installed these (to the best of my knowledge). I have tried and tried to work this out but without any fundamental knowledge I'm drowning. I'm using python 2.7.13. Any advice? Sorry for the ugly code!

Main function:

You want audio as mp3. YouTube only serves audio in other formats, such as m4a. Therefore, youtube-dl downloads the m4a file and converts it to mp3. youtube-dl does not include a custom mp3 converter. It uses ffmpeg or avconv for audio conversion.

Therefore, if you want to convert audio, you need to install ffmpeg or avconv. How do that on macOS is documented in detail at our sister site superuser.

The other warnings you're getting are because of a misconconfigured beautifulsoup. Instead of trying to parse the search results yourself, let youtube-dl do it, a URL along the lines of 'ytsearch1:flying bunny' should do the trick.
