I tried to get some infos of a video with discord.py when "+dl https://youtube......" is executed, the program download in mp3 the youtube link and send it with : video name, duration and id but i get an error during execution :
ydl_opts = {
'outtmpl': './SomethingMore/dl.mp3',
'format': 'bestaudio/best',
'noplaylist': True,
'default_search' : 'ytsearch',
'postprocessors': [{
'key': 'FFmpegExtractAudio',
'preferredcodec': 'mp3',
'preferredquality': '192',
}]}
Link = ctx.message.content
Link = Link.strip('+dl ')
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
playlist_dict = ydl.extract_info(Link, download=False)
for video in playlist_dict['entries']:
if not video:
print('ERROR: Unable to get info. Continuing...')
continue
video_title = video.get("title")
video_duration = video.get("duration")
video_id = video.get("id")
await ctx.channel.send('Download of '+ video_title +' is starting, please wait a minute')
try:
ydl.download([Link])
await ctx.channel.send('Download ended')
Here is the error :
Ignoring exception in command dl:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Obviously your playlist_dict doesn't have key 'entries'.
It is hard to say, why. Try checking what you still have in playlist_dict.
Beside of that, it's a bad practice to mix blocking (youtube-dl) and asynchronous (ctx.channel.send()) code together.
Consider scheduling blocking calls from a separate thread (asyncio.to_thread())
UPD: As far as I can see, now YoutubeDL.extract_info() just returns list of dicts, so you can remove ['entries'] part and just iterate over the returned list.
