Hello. I am not sure what generates that error. Did you try opening the video with another video player?

orhogi commented 3 months ago

Yes I tried VLC player still didn't help and I also tried to convert the file into a different format which it didn't work either

loo-kuhs commented 3 months ago

Hi, did you stop the download before opening the file?

I have tried by myself with that same tiktok user and I was able to play the video.

And as a tip, after starting the tiktok live download, wait two or three minutes before stopping the download.

Hey and yes I stop the download Before opening the file and I just tried to leave it for 4 minutes and still the same problem

I don't know man, I tried to replicate the error. I need more information on how you are using the tool.

loo-kuhs commented 3 months ago

I think I know what is happening, you are trying to open the video file when the tool is active.

1st.- I assume you start the download tool. image

2nd.- Then I think you try to open the video file. image

3rd.- You're getting the error. image

Before opening the file, you must stop the download process. The file will not work until you do this.

In the command console just press CTRL + C on the keyboard.

Then you can open the file. image
