Description

A exception is raised when embedding the video thumbnail to the mp3 file,
The program is unable to find the file despite the fact the file exists in the correct directory,
The problem hasn't occurred when working on another computer with Windows 11 but occurs here on Windows 10
both computers have the same dependencies and running the same version of python

I am not sure what has caused this bug and I am unable to propose a solution due to this

Please show the actual yt-dl command that you ran.

However this error seems familiar. I thought it might be a yt-dl version of yt-dlp#4604, but no, though it appears related.

This ffmpeg command is being run and giving this error:

ffmpeg -y -loglevel "repeat+info" -i "file:C:\Users\Tayga\Desktop\videos\Tusk (2018 Remaster).webp" "-bsf:v" mjpeg2jpeg "file:C:\Users\Tayga\Desktop\videos\Tusk (2018 Remaster).jpg"
[image2 @ 00000000006ecc80] Could find no file with path 'file:C:\Users\Tayga\Desktop\videos\Tusk (2018 Remaster).webp' and index in the range 0-4

I think that this is what is happening...

The code from PR #25717 is trying to convert some possible image sequence format to a JPG.
It invokes the mjpeg2jpeg bitstream filter with the -bsf:v option to fix the JPG encoding.
As the input file is a single frame WEBP image, the image2 demuxer is implicitly used to get the image data from the input file.
Some change in ffmpeg (>4.3) causes image2 to look for an image sequence by default when its output is connected to the mjpeg2jpeg codec.
yt-dl should be adding -pattern_type none to the image2 parameters.

I don't have a new enough version of ffmpeg to trigger the issue but the fix appears to work with my older version (ie, behaviour doesn't change when adding the new parameters):

$ ffmpeg -f image2 -pattern_type none -i 'Nærøyfjorden.webp' '-bsf:v' mjpeg2jpeg 'Nærøyfjorden.jpg'

The test WEBP image is the first one on the G developer site for WEBP.

In order to pass the -pattern_type I had to make image2 an explicit demuxer, which might break some other thumbnail formats that yt-dl, with older ffmpeg, currently handles OK. Maybe we can just add -update 1 to the output options instead.

The difference between your Windows systems is likely to be different ffmpeg versions. The logged version is a development build and may be newer than the version on the machine where the problem doesn't occur. Please also show the output of ffmpeg -version on that system.

N-55702-g920046a is the ffmpeg version in your problem log. Just to confirm, that is the same on the Win 11 machine where you don't get the problem?

This is what happens with the git master on my machine (the thumbnail code is the same), and ffmpeg 4.3:

The windows 11 machine has ffmpeg 5.1.2 on it.

how would I get the program to use a specific version of ffmpeg as the N-55702-g920046a version is being prioritised over any other version I install.

If you have a known version of ffmpeg that you would like to use rather than whatever is in your %PATH%, use the --ffmpg-location ... option (or its API equivalent ffmpeg_location).

I expect that Chocolatey has some way of forcing a particular version but I don't use it myself.

I've now removed the version of ffmpeg an have installed 4.3,
the log is similar to the one you have shown earlier
while the FileNotFound error has stopped the resulting mp3 file does not have the thumbnail embedded when I go to preview it
I've tried this with 5.1.2 as well with the same results

If you can still run the problem version of ffmpeg, it would be very helpful to run this test.

Download the test WEBP image as aaa.webp (or some other name that doesn't match any existing WEBP or JPEG image in the directory). It should show a Nordic landscape.
Try these commands:

ffmpeg -f image2 -pattern_type -i aaa.webp -bsf:v mjpeg2jpeg aaa_1.jpg
ffmpeg -i aaa.webp -bsf:v mjpeg2jpeg -update 1 aaa_2.jpg

Excellent, thanks. I'll investigate adding -update 1 for all ffmpeg versions. The yt-dlp issue shows that it ought to be supported way back, to 2.8.

In principle we probably ought not to run the mjpeg2jpeg filter unless the image type is suitable, but that hasn't been a problem so far.

@dirkf
Can you explain why the mp3 downloaded with youtube-dl doesn't show the thumbnail in explorer, while the one downloaded with yt-dlp does.
Both show "Cover" in MediaInfo.

This is on Windows10 with the most recent FFmpeg.

On Linux the thumbnail is shown in both cases.

Yt-dlp and youtube-dl built from latest master.

Thanks for this research.

On Linux the thumbnail is shown in both cases.

What, after copying to the Windows test machine? That's the acid test.

The postprocessor code has evolved somewhat in yt-dlp. It's possible that there's some subtle difference in the ffmpeg command lines used for the embedding, and/or for the MP3 extraction, such that the yt-dlp result matches Win10 Explorer's understanding of MP3 cover art better. Use --verbose to show the ffmpeg command lines.

Windows versions may differ. In the olden days there was a separate shell extension that could be inspected separately but who knows what's going on in the too-bad-for-open-source Windows code.

I downloaded it on the Windows VM, but the same one downloaded from my Linux Mint Mate system also didn't show the thumbnail, when copied to the Windows VM.

Note however, that I have edited line 72 in embedthumbnail.py to produce better jpeg quality. Doubt that can be the cause.

For the embedding, there are these two yt-dlp commits that make up the diff above:

At some point this comment applied and probably still does:

# Write id3v1 metadata also since Windows Explorer can't handle id3v2 tags

For the conversion:

ffmpeg -y -loglevel repeat+info -i 'file:/dev/shm/test-ytd/Tusk (2018 Remaster).webp' ...

--qmin 1 -q:v 1 -bsf:v mjpeg2jpeg 'file:/dev/shm/test-ytd/Tusk (2018 Remaster).jpg'
+-update 1 -bsf:v mjpeg2jpeg -movflags +faststart -qmin 1 -q:v 1 -metadata synopsis= 'file:/dev/shm/test-dlp/Tusk (2018 Remaster).jpg'

-update 1 has to be added according to this issue for new ffmpeg builds.
-movflags +faststart is only relevant for MP4/MOV destination containers, so not for MP3 (fun fact: the + means just set faststart and don't reset any other movflags, which was "so obvious that it went without saying" in the ffmpeg docs).
synopsis= is forcing an empty description but from the yt-dlp code I have no idea how it came to be there (would be comment= in yt-dl or, I guess, with yt-dlp compat set).

So I think -update 1 and the ID3 options have to be added.

It looks like @nicolaasjan is manually supplying -qmin 1 -q:v 1 -metadata synopsis=with --ppa. It's not being added by yt-dlp

-movflags +faststart is only relevant for MP4/MOV destination containers, so not for MP3 (fun fact: the + means just set faststart and don't reset any other movflags, which was "so obvious that it went without saying" in the _ffmpeg_docs).

Since ffmpeg ignores movflags for non-mp4, yt-dlp just adds it to everything
