An error with youtube-dl












6















When I run youtube-dl and extract the audio it gives me the error:
ERROR: audio conversion failed: Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame'

Could this be because I have ffmpeg and lame installed? Do the two conflict with eachother somehow?

Make sure that you have the libavcodec-extra-53 package for encoding to mp3 installed. To install libavcodec-extra-53 from the terminal run:



sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53  


Libav codec library:

Libav is a complete, cross-platform solution to decode, encode, record, convert and stream audio and video.




  • In Ubuntu 14.04 the Libav codec library (libavcodec-extra-53) has been updated to libavcodec-extra-54.

  • In Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04 the Libav codec library has been updated to libavcodec-ffmpeg-extra56.

  • In Ubuntu 16.10, 17.04, 17.10, and 18.04 Libav codec library has been updated to libavcodec-extra57.

    I just had the same problem but installing that package didn't work for me. When I ran this command, the problem was solved: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras.

      If you're getting this error running youtube-dl on a server
      check out this example for how I solved it for running python app on heroku:
      https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/302#issuecomment-60146845



      The steps were




      1. make sure lame is installed (I used a buildpack) and

      2. make sure ffprobe is installed


      There are presumably other ways:
      --extract-audio "requires ffmpeg or avconv and ffprobe or avprobe"
