Black Hole
May contain traces of nut
I installed the Windows version of youtube-dl (youtube-dl.exe) and have been running it on a Windows command line*, basically because by HomePlug network link to the HDR-FOXes is so crap** (I might put a wire in one day). After an iPlayer download I got something like "ffmpeg not found" (because iPlayer downloads seem to need the audio stream patched up, and youtube-dl calls up ffmpeg to do that), so I put a copy of ffmpeg.exe into the same directory as youtube-dl.exe (and I run everything from that working directory).
Now, however, the error message reads "ERROR: ffprobe or avprobe not found. Please install one.". Isn't ffprobe part of ffmpeg.exe? I can't find a separate download for it.
* Note I didn't say DOS! I get chastised when I call the Windows command interpreter DOS (which I agree it isn't, but it mostly behaves the same and I'm sure anyone who has used PCs since the '80s will regard the DOS command set as their first point of reference)!
** Don't you love it when they say "rubbish" on TV when you just know they mean "crap"?
