"No such file or directory" error in yt-dlp

[blanc]

Hi,

I can’t download a video file via

yt-dlp
https://stream.fau.tv/videoportal_sec/_definst_/videoportal/2013/11/13/FAU_W13_ELEMENTZ_ClipID_3372/camera.smil/chunklist_w2133305279_b1100000_tkcnJ6ZXZwc3RhcnR0aW1lPTE3NTAxNjgzOTEmcnJ6ZXZwZW5kdGltZT0xNzUwMTg5OTkxJnJyemV2cGhhc2g9bFdRTU51czdnNkRSYTJjeDZNak5oR2FnckpQQnJvaklVQjRaSzZwQ0pFOD0=.m3u8

Error: No such file or directory.

Any tips?

Yeah. Is that exactly the command line you used? And there is no more output than the "Error: No such file or directory"?

Which OS/what shell are you using?

Either "yt-dlp" is not in your path or you've tried to execute the url as command. Probably the first.

I'm using Windows 10.

It always helps if you show the complete command and output.

Next guess: the file name yt-dlp tries to write to is too long for Windows 10. Simply tell yt-dlp the target with "-o output.mp4"
