[ffmpeg] Merging formats into xxxxxx.mp4 ‒ERROR xxxxxxxx.temp.mp4: Invalid argument #5693

Closed Wikinaut closed 9 years ago

Wikinaut commented 9 years ago

Using a fresh OpenSuse Tumbleweed, and fresh youtube-dl, and when trying to

youtube-dl --verbose Lk0GQWlN6kc

I got this error

. . .

The real output of ffmpeg is:

Unable to find a suitable output format for xxxxxx.mp4

I don't know whether this is an ffmpeg or youtube-dl issue, perhaps anyone can help. Youtube-dl should in any case show a correct error message, perhaps with a hint, what how to overcome this problem.

Post the full output you get when running with --verbose option.

I think this part of the configuration is relevant:

--disable-encoders --disable-decoders --disable-muxers --disable-demuxers --enable-encoder='flac,gif,jpegls,libopenjpeg,libtheora,libvorbis,libvpx,png' --enable-decoder='flac,gif,jpegls,ljpeg,libopenjpeg,libtheora,libvpx,png,vorbis,vp3,vp5,vp6,vp6a,vp6f,vp8,vp9,webp' --enable-muxer='flac,gif,image2,image2pipe,matroska,matroska_audio,null,webm' --enable-demuxer='flac,gif,image2,image2pipe,matroska'

Does it work if you tell it you output an mkv file: ffmpeg -y -i 'Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin'"'"' 1966　[HD 1080p] [Best Quality]-Lk0GQWlN6kc.f137.mp4' -i 'Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin'"'"' 1966　[HD 1080p] [Best Quality]-Lk0GQWlN6kc.f141.m4a' -c copy -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 'Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin'"'"' 1966　[HD 1080p] [Best Quality]-Lk0GQWlN6kc.temp.mkv'?

Does it works if you specify

ffmpeg in OpenSuse built without h264 support.

jaimeMF commented 9 years ago

Should we handle it or just tell users to use -f best or --merge-output-format?

dstftw commented 9 years ago

@Wikinaut so, not a youtube-dl issue. You can workaround by specifying merge output format to mkv using --merge-output-format mkv or build ffmpeg yourself.

dstftw commented 9 years ago

@jaimeMF we could probably implement some logic here and fallback to -f best.

jaimeMF commented 9 years ago

It will just complicate the code, I prefer telling the users to use some youtube-dl option or install ffmpeg with h264 support.

dstftw commented 9 years ago

Why complicate? All this logic would be placed in one single place that's easily maintainable. The only problem with this is how much reliable these heuristics are. Most likely we will receive bugreports like that over and over again (similarly to outdated avconv) and telling users to install ffmpeg with proper formats support won't change anything (obviously very few will build ffmpeg themselves and most will treat youtube-dl broken).

jaimeMF commented 9 years ago

Since it would only be used to decide if it should default to bestvideo+bestaudio/best, it makes sense to only do it if we know that ffmpeg will be able to do so. So, like you work for checking the version, it's good for the user experience. If you want to code it, go ahead.

The only problem with this is how much reliable these heuristics are

I think we should consider using a different format query based on the ffmpeg configuration (to not pollute the YoutubeDL class, it should probably go inside a method of the merger). For example if it doesn't have h264 support but has webm support, we could use -f bestvideo[ext=webm]+bestaudio[ext=webm]/best. With that we would still get the best format available and the merge shoudn't fail.

Wikinaut commented 9 years ago

Please let me drop in again.

I already said that I suppose that it could be ffmeg problem (I will come back to that later). A silent fallback to -f best is IMHO not a solution. As you already mentioned in https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/5661#issuecomment-100613951 , such a default can be set by the user in the configuration file.

My proposal is to let youtube-dl better detect and notifying the user that ffmpeg is having a problem, i.e. that needed codecs are missings in installed ffmpeg, which cannot be only ffmpeg-version based.

See my top posting, the output of ffmpeg in my case is "Unable to find a suitable output format for xxxxxx.mp4".

Wikinaut commented 9 years ago

@jacobian in reply to your question https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/5693#issuecomment-102012873

"Does it work if you tell it you output an mkv file: "

Yes, the merge command using the mkv works for me.

And now?

Wikinaut commented 9 years ago

http://dpaste.com/0071B22#wrap is the ouput of ffmpeg -version and ffmpeg -formats of the version from the PACKMAN repository, it contains the lib264 and lib265 encoders but the format list looks to be the limit one as of OpenSuse Tumbleweed.
