FFmpeg returned an error: Did you mean file: ...?

[yylliw]

Hi, I went through the installation with success (running Kubuntu 20.04), destreamer seems to work (I can log into chromium), but then suddenly stops and I get the following message :

[ERROR] FFmpeg returned an error: Did you mean file:https://euno-1.api.microsoftstream.com/api/videos/manifest?api-version=1.0&playbackurl=https://streameuno1su011.azureedge.net/76167dc0-fa2d-416a-a7eb-1132f61fa250/v.ism/manifest(format=m3u8-aapl)? [FATAL ERROR] Unknown FFmpeg error

I'm trying to download a Teams's meeting record but the video is available in Stream (from which I copy the link, in that case it is "https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/f8f492dd-077d-4eb8-831a-5673100f2138"), and I tried with a random non-Teams video and still get the same error, so I thought the issue should come from ffmpeg.

I do have one of the lastest release of ffmpeg, but I still tried to install some others just in case. Same results.

I have no clue of where the issue is coming from, nor what is this kind of file ffmep doesn't like. Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks !

I just saw there is a verbose mode, my bad. If it can give anyone some idea, here's what I get :

I got this error as well on Ubuntu 16.04, npm 6.14.10 and ffmpeg 4.3.1.

Did it happen again? Did you try any other video?

Sorry for the very late response, I was busy

[yylliw]

Yes, the same issue with any video.

No problem, it's already honorable from you to spend time on that.

[lukaarma]

@yylliw Could you try to update both ffmpeg and Destreamer to the lastest version possible please?

[snobu]

Looks like a nightly built ffmpeg. Get a stable version of ffmpeg. Stable versions are numbered 4.x.x.

[yylliw]

Problem solved. Seems to me that the latest stable version of ffmpeg didn't change the result, but updating destreamer to the latest version (v3.0) did. For now I did not encounter any other bug, destreamer is working fine. Sorry for the late response, and thank you very much for your help.
