Question

Hi there, I have a question for you all.

I know I MUST look around for similar questions or troubleshooting but my problem is really different and yeah, I have looked so many pages without similar scenarios even.

I´m running this script https://github.com/MaZED-UP/bunny-cdn-drm-video-dl from a Macbook for your concern.

Problem.
There are a video series from a tutorial page I have been downloading (one by one) a long time ago but today I realized I can´t download a special one: it is posted in first place of the same section page I used to download.

The script still RUNS perfectly with other videos in the same section except for this one.

Following you´ll find the entire error message, and It would seems to be a ffmpeg permission or location directory problem but it doesn´t because (I repeat) the script runs perfectly with other videos in the same page section:

#30839: "if you were actually running yt-dlp ..."

But what you will be asked there is this: what version of ffmpeg is installed on your system (paste the text output of the command ffmpeg -version run in a Terminal), and, if none, why didn't you install it as the diagnostic asks.

yt-dl and yt-dlp can generally download media from m3u8 manifests but ffmpeg is needed for "live" media.

Thanks Dirkf, You were totally right It wasn´t installed ffmpeg.

I already tried to install ffmpeg with this instructions (https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmpeg-artschool/). I had already installed brew but I have the following error installing ffmpeg:

==> Fetching libvorbis
==> Downloading https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/85c487f7d18b4c15cab0d4f3b22854cd03364fa6/Formula/lib/libvorbis.rb

Error: ffmpeg: Failed to download resource "libvorbis"
Download failed: Homebrew-installed curl is not installed for: https://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.3.7.tar.xz

And ffmpeg was not installed.

Could you help me, please?

Really you should ask at the brewery, but it seems to be saying that curl is needed first.

yt-dlp (wrong tracker), but neither project knows about your video host iframe.mediadelivery.net.

Search the Web for that host name to find hints that may or (probably) may not help.

Or create a Site Support Request for the actual site that is using this video host.
