Youtube-dl extract audio, get empty file

JosephS · 04-16-2012, 09:24 PM

Using Debian Squeeze
I am trying to use Youtube-dl to extract audio from video on youtube.
I use

Code:

joe@Squeeze:~/downloads/youtube$ youtube-dl -v --no-mtime -o '%(stitle)s.%(ext)s' --extract-audio --audio-format vorbis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0adt4OJO1g&feature=player_detailpage

I just get an empty ogg file.

Youtube-dl help says

Quote:

--extract-audio convert video files to audio-only files (requires ffmpeg and ffprobe)

The problem is when I tried to install ffprobe aptitude tells me it conflicts with ffmpeg and wants to remove it.

Are there any solutions to this problem?

Thanks

Not an expert, but I'm guessing the versions might conflict between ffmpeg and ffprobe, or maybe one includes a copy of the other already which then conflicts with the existing one.
