Hi backlight,

Could you export and share the workflow?

Does the machine have an FFAStrans internet connection? It told me the same message if I had to have a proxy set up.
Ideally try downloading directly through the youtube-dl.exe file in the directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\FFAStrans\Processors\ffmpeg) using the bat file: "C:\Program Files\FFAStrans\Processors\ffmpeg\youtube-dl.exe" -f bestvideo+bestaudio filename"
or with proxy
"C:\Program Files\FFAStrans\Processors\ffmpeg\youtube-dl.exe" --proxy "http://IP_adress:port" -f bestvideo+bestaudio filename"



I have another problem and I will not create a new thread for it, it is also useful here:

video source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uYG3dQt-RQ
if i testing in BAT file:
"C:\Program Files\FFAStrans\Processors\ffmpeg\youtube-dl.exe" --proxy "http://myproxy:port" --restrict-filenames -f bestvideo+bestaudio https://www_youtube_com/watch?v=8uYG3dQt-RQ

then output from youtube-dl:
PO_KRADE_I_KABELKY_VLA_EL_PRODAVA_KU_PO_ZEMI-8uYG3dQt-RQ.f135.mp4
PO_KRADE_I_KABELKY_VLA_EL_PRODAVA_KU_PO_ZEMI-8uYG3dQt-RQ.f140.m4a

OR
"C:\Program Files\FFAStrans\Processors\ffmpeg\youtube-dl.exe" --proxy "http://myproxy:port" --merge-output-format mp4 --ffmpeg-location "C:\Program Files\FFAStrans\Processors\ffmpeg\x64\ffmpeg.exe" --restrict-filenames -f bestvideo+bestaudio https://www_youtube_com/watch?v=8uYG3dQt-RQ

then output is: PO_KRADE_I_KABELKY_VLA_EL_PRODAVA_KU_PO_ZEMI-8uYG3dQt-RQ.mp4

if I set the url address to a shortcut (.url) and process it in FFAStrans -> Folder (url file) -> Youtube Decoder (in config file is):

# Restrict filenames to only ASCII characters, and avoid "&" and spaces in filenames
--restrict-filenames

# Use this proxy
--proxy "http://myproxy:port"

output from youtube-dl (Youtube decoder) is file "PO KRÁDEŽI KABELKY VLÁEL PRODAVAKU PO ZEMI.mp4" -> there is a problem with non-standard ASCII characters in the next process (e.g. ě š č ř ž ý á í é ú ů)

the settings in the configuration file do not work --restrict-filename, the output file name is fixed according to --get-title ???

Hi jozxyqk80,
welchome to the forum!
It is always good to open an new thread about new problems as your problem might be completely different than the other ones.
I tried to reproduce your issue and initially i got an error message from the Youtube Processor like

Code: Select all

 "token" parameter not in video info for unknown reason;
After updating the youtube-dl.exe (by just jusing youtube-dl.exe -U), i am not able to reproduce any problem, not the one from @backlight and not the one from @jozxyqk80

You can check the and play around with the generated youtube-dl command in a log file named *extract.txt in the work_root directory. Please check the option "keep jobs work folders on completion" in your workflow settings.
A log file name containing the full youtube-dl command on my system for example here:

Code: Select all

C:\.ffastrans_work_root\20190614110502\20190614-122637-191-47DCE164D402\~20190614-122638-806-F61058FDEF52.extract.txt

Youtube-dl download file corectly -> 8uYG3dQt-RQ.mp4, but the file name is "PO KRÁDEŽI KABELKY VLÁEL PRODAVAKU PO ZEMI.mp4" even if I have in config.txt --restrict-filenames and it should be "PO_KRADE_I_KABELKY_VLA_EL_PRODAVA_KU_PO_ZEMI-8uYG3dQt-RQ.mp4"

The problem is with further processing with characters - ě š č ř ž ý á í é ú ů

Re: YOUTUBE

Post by emcodem »

So i had a deep look now into the internals of ffastrans. --restrict-filenames parameter from your config is applied to youtube-dl, but ffastrans is instructing it to download to a temporary filename. The temporary filename equals the youtube ID therefore it does not contain any special chars, this is why youtube-dl --restrict-filenames function is not doing what you expect it to do.

Internal steps for the youtube-dl processor:
-) parse formats using youtube-dl.exe
-) parse title using youtube-dl.exe, store in a variable (%s_display%)
-) download video using youtube-dl.exe, store to temporary location using temporary filename

So the actual filename is being parsed from the youtube title and applied later on by e.g. a deliver node.
Unfortunately the actual filename is only stored internally in a variable called %s_display%. You can use this variable to calculate your filename without special chars e.g. in a populate variables processor like that:
$alrep("%s_display%","_")
Actually i am more interested in whats your issue with the "special characters", you should not have any issues within ffastrans as far as i can see.
Anyway, @jozxyqk80 i am not very happy that we use this thread for it as the problem is a completely different one than the original was. Please open another thread if you need more infos about coping with special characters.

Hi guys,
my problem is a little bit easier (I hope).
I can't understand how to setup my nodes and the conf file to use it into the workflow.

Hi backlight,

I'm not sure I quite catch your problem. Is it creating and configuring the youtube conf. file or is generally how to use the youtube-decoder?
