Download Media — Download video and audio from web pages

I am having an issue where I get two separate files – a video file in .mp4 and an audio file in .m4a. This happens every time. Am I doing something wrong?

 

Just released a new version. Try that out, it should fix it.

When I download audio only it saves as an .opus file.  How can I save as an mp3?

Open the Workflow README/Configuration. There’s an option there.

Hi Vitor,  

First of all, thanks for this awesome workflow.  🙏🏻

It worked wonderfully for so long... But not anymore 😕  

First: It would "not download & save" -> I could see the download in the progress view, but after that the file was not there.  

I re-installed the workflow, and now every link on youtube would result with "url invalid"  

Please let me know if you have any idea about how to solve this.  
Thanks in advance
Marc

Welcome @mgris, and thank you for the kind words.

 

Long story short, this will self fix if you wait a few days. If you want it fixed now (and why not), open a terminal and run:

"${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3/Workflow Data/com.vitorgalvao.alfred._sharedresources/bin/youtube-dl" --update && exit

After the command finishes (it should take under a minute), you may close the terminal widow and the issue should be fixed.

Hi Vitor ! 

Thx a lot.
But unfortunately, I still get a "URL Invalid" error message whenever I try to download audio from Youtube... 

Any other idea  ?

Thx again

What was the output of the command? If you run it now, what does it say?

 

And only in that situation?

Open a terminal and run youtube-dl --update, in case you have it installed from another source.

 

If that doesn’t work, open the debugger, set the log output to “All Information”, and post the output.

[mgris]

youtube-dl --update  did the trick 😊

 

Thx ! 🙏

[vitor]

Updated for Alfred 4.

To update, download the latest version (same URL) or wait a few days and it’ll prompt you to on next usage, since it uses OneUpdater.

What can people do who run Alfred v3 and accidentally have confirmed the autoupdate of DownVid 😞

 

Now DownVid is not working and I cannot seem to find a link to the last Alfred 3 compatible version 😞

This should be the previous, Alfred 3-compatible version.

[s95hc8]

Thank you very much, this fixed my problem. It would be nice if these versions would stay available and easily findable.

I'm sure @vitor will add a link to the last Alfred 3-compatible version to the README.

I have indeed, replacing the previous note to download the last working Workflow for Alfred 2. Thank you @deanishe for posting a link earlier.

 

@s95hc8 You should delete the OneUpdater node (it’s easy to identify: coloured pink and has a note) to avoid getting further update notices if you intend to stay on Alfred 3.

@jwz Your system seems to be missing several basic tools. What’s your macOS version?

@jwz It seems that your macOS installation is borked. It has nothing to do with the Workflow. Try Ask Different. Mention these errors:

sed: No such file or directory
awk: No such file or directory
basename: No such file or directory

Thanks, will a repair of the os help? or should is do a clean install?
