I'm new on this but I think it's all installed, yt-dlg and ffmpeg.

I was experiencing the same issue but I think the solution is to have both ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe in the program folder. Worked for me at least.

I have the same issue. Where can I find ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe to try the workaround? Thanks

@agulab Try the steps from the Wiki: https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui/wiki/Install-FFmpeg-on-Windows

Let us know if work or if we need add more info ℹ️

Is there a reason, why these two files can't be included with the installation package? I just checked and the original version of YouTube DLG did automatically include these two files in the installation folder. Some licensing issues that prevent you from including them?

Also maybe this information should be visibly noted somewhere (ideally within the program) for people that use this program to know.

And one more thing - why is the installation guide (and video) so overly complicated, when you really just need to copy those two .exe files into the installation folder?

  • One reason is final size of the installer.
  • Second the lifecycle of releases of the projects is diferents, is the option the final user download and setting FFmpeg the version they want
  • For general many sites pre-mix the multimedia ( videos / audio ) and yt-dlg just download
  • For the Post-processing you can use FFmpeg or others you like

Also maybe this information should be visibly noted somewhere (ideally within the program) for people that use this program to know.

The Install FFmpeg on Windows show one option to setting FFmpeg

And one more thing - why is the installation guide (and video) so overly complicated, when you really just need to copy those two .exe files into the installation folder?

Is about options for the final user, you can settings yt-dlp CLI Backend to use different FFmpeg

Alright, thanks for the explanation. But if it wasn't for this post, I wouldn't know why I couldn't download as mp3, when I select it in the dropdown.
