Doubt on MP4

[CashOver]

I would like to know how I could download videos on pinterest or between websites

[mikf]

Downloading videos on Pinterest needs youtube-dl/yt-dlp to be installed alongside gallery-dl when you installed with pip.

I don't know what you mean with "or between websites".

[CashOver]

how can i download youtube-dl and just ignore the "or between websites"

[mikf]

pip install yt-dlp

[CashOver]

thank you

I've looked into this whole Pinterest videos thing a bit more, and, as it turns out, most of the recent videos are actually "story" pins, which are not yet supported.

Real video pins work when ytdl is installed.

$ gallery-dl https://www.pinterest.com/pin/422564377542934214/
/tmp/_/pinterest/pinterest_422564377542934214.mp4

For story pins it only downloads the preview image, even though there is an "embedded" video

$ gallery-dl https://www.pinterest.com/pin/870954015416439245/
/tmp/_/pinterest/pinterest_870954015416439245.jpg

Hi, I would like to know how I could fix this error, because every time I download it in folder format it causes this problem :

"\gallery-dl\pinterest\singhraaz079\pinterest_633670610091744913.mp4[downloader.ytdl][error] ERROR: You have requested merging of multiple formats but ffmpeg is not installed. Aborting due to --abort-on-error"

It says exactly what's wrong.

Well, every time I go to the images and videos on pinterest I don't know where the error is or I'll have to add:

when running pip install yt-dlp, I get Requirement already satisfied

Anyone an idea what may be the issue or how to resolve this?

Provide the command used, the full output log when using --verbose, and the config file, from all of which you censored your usernames/passwords/ID's of course.

[dwiehoff]

command used:

gallery-dl --cookies "$HOME/Downloads/www.pinterest.de_cookies.txt" "https://www.pinterest.de/username/board/" --verbose

config file: no changes

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Turns out the script is unable to access yt_dlp. However, pip install yt_dlp, gives me:

What may be causing this?

[Hrxn]

Different Python installations?

[dwiehoff]

Different Python installations?

I'm assuming one of these I've installed using Homebrew and one came with the system. Do you happen to know if there's an easy way to resolve this if this is what's causing the issue?

/usr/bin/python3
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/site-packages

[rautamiekka]

Use the 2nd method in https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/appleosx-bash-unix-change-set-path-environment-variable/ to put the system one after the Homebrew one.

Appreciate it. That did the trick.

If you have a free sec could you explain in some more detail? ls -l /etc/paths.d for me returns 10-cryptex & mono-commands. Am I to be adding /opt/homebrew/bin to one of these?

I'm getting ERROR: You have requested merging of multiple formats but ffmpeg is not installed. only when sending commands over SSH.
