Youtube-dl trouble outputting in mp3


I wrote this function. I am trying to have it output the mp3 file but it isn't working. I keep getting this error. I have tried messing with putting .mp3 on "output_filepath" or "%(ext)s" with no avail.

def start_extraction(url, output_file):

    output_filepath = 'music/%s.mp3' % output_file
    temp_filepath = 'temp/%s-%s.%s' % (uuid.uuid4(), output_file, '%(ext)s')


    ydl_opts = {
    'format': 'bestaudio/best', # choice of quality
    'extractaudio' : True,      # only keep the audio
    'audioformat' : 'mp3',      # convert to mp3
    'outtmpl': temp_filepath,  # name the location
    'noplaylist' : True,        # only download single song, not playlist
    'logger': MyLogger(),
    'progress_hooks': [my_hook],
     }

    with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
      result = ydl.download([url])
    #
    if result == 0:
        # Move the temporary file to the proper location.
        shutil.move(temp_filepath, output_filepath)
return result

So I get this error

Solution

  • Ok so after a while of debuging. I found out that the file was getting saved as a m4a. Also needed to replace the variable since it mutated. So for anyone who is having using youtube-dl with itunes here is the solution I was able to come up with.

    def start_extraction(url, output_file):
    
        output_filepath = 'music/%s.mp3' % output_file
        temp_filepath = 'temp/%s-%s.%s' % (uuid.uuid4(), output_file, '%(ext)s')
    
    
        ydl_opts = {
        'format': 'bestaudio/best', # choice of quality
        'extractaudio' : True,      # only keep the audio
        'audioformat' : 'mp3',      # convert to mp3
        'outtmpl': temp_filepath,  # name the location
        'noplaylist' : True,        # only download single song, not playlist
        'postprocessors': [{
          'key': 'FFmpegExtractAudio',
          'preferredcodec': 'mp3',
          'preferredquality': '192',
          }],
        'logger': MyLogger(),
        'progress_hooks': [my_hook],
         }
    
        with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
          result = ydl.download([url])
        #
        if result == 0:
            # Move the temporary file to the proper location.
            temp_filepath = temp_filepath.replace('.%(ext)s', ".mp3")
            shutil.move(temp_filepath, output_filepath)
    
        return result
