QUESTION
I'm using yt-dlp (in Python) to extract information from Twitch videos.
If I try to extract information from a non-existing video or a private one, I get an exception, which is the expected behaviour. But if I set to "quiet" mode and if I catch the potential exception, and I still get the error logged. Here is the code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Mar-02 at 20:27I guess that the easiest way to hide all logging errors is by implementing your own log handler. Consider the following change to your code, I'm sure you'll figure out how to implement what you want from here:
QUESTION
This is my first question here therefore I hope this format is fine. I've searched for the issue on internet and checked the documentation of yt-dlp however could not find something useful or maybe I just dont understand what to do.
In a normal case, I was using youtube-dl to download musics from youtube and play it in my discord bot but its download rate restrictions became problematic (60-80 KiB/s). For this reason I started the use yt-dlp. It works fine if I use url directly. However, when I use a searchword instead of url, seems like code does not extract the info to get url. (Below code was working fine with youtube-dl too) Here is the code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Feb-27 at 12:23Apparently, I solved the issue by myself by using a different way. As I mentioned above youtube_dl works fine however yt_dlp .extract_info() is problematic. A simple solution to fix this is extracting info by using youtube_dl module, then download file by using yt_dlp.
Use this for downlaoding:
QUESTION
I'm trying to use yt-dlp rather than youtube-dl due to the bottlenecking on download speeds in youtube-dl but I can't get it to work.
My mpv.conf file looks like:
script-opts=ytdl_hook-ytdl_path=/usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
When trying to get mpv to run I get this warning:
[ytdl_hook] script-opts: unknown key ytdl_path, ignoring
Does anyone know what the problem is? I've read through the mpv docs and it says this should work.
mpv is version 0.27.2
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Feb-19 at 18:05I had the same problem as you, on mpv version 0.32.0. The problem is that the ytdl-hook settings category is not an option in these older versions. Your solutions are to update your mpv version or to create a link from youtube-dl to yt-dlp. Hope this helps.
QUESTION
I am building a discord music bot that uses FFMPEG to download and play the music. yt-dlp seems to not be able to find the ffmpeg file for some reason although I give it the direct path. It works perfectly fine whe I run it on my cpu, but it doesn't work in heroku.
Here's the error in heroku:

Answered 2022-Jan-07 at 03:17PowerShell normally exits unless you specify -NoExit at the commandline. Even then it will not include the message you are seeing unless you add a pause at the end instead. Even so, I would expect your command to look more like
QUESTION
I have implemented yt-dlp as part of my Python script, it works well, but I am unable to get the rate-limit feature to work. If you run the same command from the CLI the rate is limited correctly, is anyone able to tell me the correct syntax?
I have tried several combinations such as rate-limit, limit-rate 0.5m, 500k, 500KiB, 500, and none seem to work
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-07 at 17:07Looking at the source code you'll find that the option you're looking for is called ratelimit. Its value should be a float:
QUESTION
I've written a downloader in python 3.9.1 that utilizes yt-dlp, using this format:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-16 at 16:50The option is named skip_unavailable_fragments. See the docstring of FragmentFD
if it starts failing to download segments, just abort the job and remove any files its created?
There is no functionality in yt-dlp to automatically remove the temporary files. You will have to catch the error and do it yourself
QUESTION
I'm trying to make a continuous livestream of videos downloaded via yt-dlp. I need to port this (working) bash command into Python.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-07 at 18:06Closing the stdin pipe is required for "pushing" the sub-process remaining (buffered) data to stdout pipe.
For example, add encoder_p.stdin.close() after finish writing all data to encoder_p.stdin.
I don't understand how your code is working.
In my machine, it gets stack at encoder_buf = encoder_p.stdout.read(COPY_BUFSIZE).
I solved the problem using a "writer thread".
The "writer thread" reads data from yt_dlp_p and write it to encoder_p.stdin.
Note: In your specific case, it could work without a thread (because the data is just passed through FFmpeg, and not being encoded), but usually, the encoded data is not ready right after writing the input to FFmpeg.
My code sample uses FFplay sub-process for playing the video (we need the video player because the RTMP streaming requires a "listener" in order to keep streaming).
