Ffmpeg input/output errors with yt-dlp

tallowwood · July 8, 2023, 3:20pm

I am seeing ffmpeg input/output errors when using yt-dlp with HLS-1981 format video files.
ffmpeg version 3.4.12 is currently installed.

Those from Packman don’t usually give errors, which I don’t know if it does with yt-dlp ; And how do they comment, what kind of errors? Can it be run from the console?

Greetings

I make no sense of this, but it seems odd.

You switched things back to pure openSUSE repos from packman. OpenSUSE repos do not support encumbered codecs you must use packman.

Thank you. That is possible and I did check that before posting my request for technical assistance.
I have confirmed that the installed ffmpeg-3 is from packman and have repeated the ‘switch to packman’ action in YaST2-software-software management. The error persists.
How can I restore a functioning version of the ffmpeg tools? Would an upgrade to, say, vession 4 assist?

tallowwood · July 16, 2023, 6:02pm

After installing ffmpeg 4 I found that this issue was resolved. I am just a general user, I don’t know how, nor why.
