Youtube-dl-gui is a great program because it's easy to use, but when you select mp4, it doesn't download any video, just audio. Do you know how to fix that? Thanks.

@IoanPaleru Please post the program log after running an unsuccessful download.

wildsprite commented 6 years ago

fairly certain this is my issue as well, the issue started for me about 8 days ago too. the only thing that appears after I try to do a download now is .m4a files and pic files(.jpg)

Begin log entry

if I download AtomicParsley is youtube-dlg going to need me to put it somewhere specific? I did download it after looking at the log but I have no idea what to do with it

You should probably put "AtomicParsley.exe" in the same folder as "youtube-dl-gui.exe" if you're going to use it with youtube-dl-gui (youtube-dlg). If youtube-dl-gui (youtube-dlg) detects and uses atomicparsley automatically, then it should do everything for you, if not, then you can look at the read me file that comes with atomicparsley to figure out how to embed a .jpg picture into your .mp4 file.

To embed a .jpg picture into an .mp4 file with atomicparsley:

  1. Navigate to the folder where "AtomicParsley.exe" is in
  2. Press and hold the "shift" key on your keyboard, then while still pressing it, right-click with your mouse anywhere in the blank space of that folder, and select "open command window here"
  3. A new "cmd.exe" (command prompt) window should have opened
  4. You can now type:

AtomicParsley "C:/Computer User/Directory/Example.mp4" --artwork "C:/Computer User/Directory/Picture.jpg"

Note: Replace "C:/Computer User/Directory/Example.mp4" with the path to your .mp4 file, and "C:/Computer User/Directory/Picture.jpg" with the path to your .jpg file. Also, if your .jpg file actually has the .jpeg file extension, you'll have to change it to .jpg, or put .jpeg as the file extension in the command prompt window.

and press "enter"

  1. AtomicParsley should now run, and create a new .mp4 file in the directory you're in, with the picture file you want to use as an album cover art merged into the .mp4 file

This is from atomicparsley's "Using AtomicParsley.rtf" read me file:

Example to set a picture file into your mpeg4 file (jpeg or png only): AtomicParsley /path/your.m4a --artwork /path/to/your.jpg

I hope that helps, and let me know if you need any other help with it.

I'm having the same problem starting this week. I get only m4a or ogg files. My log file is a repeat of: [06/09/18 03:47:40] WARNING: unable to extract uploader nickname An example link that is producing m4a for mp4 or ogg for webm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFY0J5W8Udk
