FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[vitacell]

When the program tryes to download a video, it says:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I get the same while using 0.12.11

When I look in the download location I find a folder which contains multiple files, depending on the source

There's always a .json a .m4a and a .mp4. Sometimes there's a .png

The .m4a and .mp4 can be combined into a, for example, .mkv which then works as I would expect the result if the error wasn't shown

URL?

Every URL

Examples:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-68642024

Result is always the same

I'm using the flatpak install

Run the following command to get the complete stack trace:

env G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=yt-dlp flatpak run com.github.unrud.VideoDownloader

The error is related to the flatpak document portal. Change the download folder to ~/Downloads/VideoDownloader until the issue is resolved.

Works for me

Fixed in v0.12.12. It includes a workaround for https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/475.
