What am I doing wrong?

What operating system are you seeing the problem on?

Linux

Your settings

{"skip_existing": "False", "lyrics_embed": false, "lyrics_file": false, "video_download": false, "download_delay": true, "download_base_path": "/mnt", "quality_audio": "HI_RES_LOSSLESS", "quality_video": "480", "format_album": "{album_album_artist}/{album_title}{album_explicit}/{album_track_num}. {artist_name} - {track_title}", "format_playlist": "Playlists/{playlist_name}/{artist_name} - {track_title}", "format_mix": "Mix/{mix_name}/{artist_name} - {track_title}", ""format_track": "Tracks/{artist_name} - {track_title}{track_explicit}", "format_video": "Videos/{artist_name} - {track_title}{track_explicit}", "video_convert_mp4": true, "path_binary_ffmpeg": "/usr/bin", "metadata_cover_dimension": "320", "extract_flac": true, "downgrade_on_hi_res": false}

[Pihti]

are you trying to install the script? If yes, then the installer should be executed as root. Normal user cannot write to /usr/bin.

[GreatOnizuka]

No script is already installed, I tried to run it, and after downloading the first track, as I understand it, it tried to convert it to FLAC, but I get an error.

[hsg120]

I'm having this same issue, and am also on Linux (I'm using Arch).

When the program goes to create the FLAC files it says it doesn't have permission to access the ffmpeg bin location.

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:

I've tried running the program as root, but I get the same error. I also tried pointing to my user directory just as a test (of which, I should have permission to access) and still get a "permission denied" error when it goes to convert to FLAC.

Edit: For anyone else experiencing this issue, I ended up just using ffmpeg to convert the downloaded .m4a file to flac using the following command:

ffmpeg -i [input file path] -f flac [output file path]

Example: ffmpeg -i Underdog.m4a -f flac Underdog.flac

[exislow]

Set the correct path to the ffmpeg binary, not to the parent folder.
