Using aria2c with yt-dlp returns Unrecognized URI

[aidinzolghadr]

Hi,

I used to run this command:

yt-dlp.exe -f 'bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]/best[ext=mp4]/best' --mark-watched --sub-lang en --convert-subs srt --write-sub --external-downloader aria2c --external-downloader-args '-c -j 16 -x 8 -s 16 -k 1M -l' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwFRJ7SkYvI

but since yesterday it retuns this:

Exception: [download_helper.cc:451] errorCode=1 Unrecognized URI or unsupported protocol: .\Can an Umbrella Made of Water Stop the Rain？ [CwFRJ7SkYvI].f302.webm.part




ERROR: aria2c exited with code 1

[download] Destination: Can an Umbrella Made of Water Stop the Rain？ [CwFRJ7SkYvI].f251.webm
Exception caught
Exception: [download_helper.cc:451] errorCode=1 Unrecognized URI or unsupported protocol: .\Can an Umbrella Made of Water Stop the Rain？ [CwFRJ7SkYvI].f251.webm.part




ERROR: aria2c exited with code 1

If I run it without aria2c it runs fine.

Thanks

--external-downloader-args '-c -j 16 -x 8 -s 16 -k 1M -l'

-l needs the name of the log file. From aria2c help:

 -l, --log=LOG                The file name of the log file. If '-' is
                              specified, log is written to stdout.

                              Possible Values: /path/to/file, -

Thanks! Thats solved some of it. I get another error when I executed this:

Command:

yt-dlp.exe -f 'bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp3]/best[ext=mp4]/best' --external-downloader aria2c --external-downloader-args '-c -j 16 -x 8 -s 16 -k 1M' --cookies youtube_cookies.txt --embed-thumbnail "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKq_bpuI-vY&list=PLH3lfNtPhUxiSk7CtI2Fnd5vM3tLOEQ68"

This (in the yt-dlp report) is related to the aria2c error, I think.

If I remove aria2c and external--download, it downloads fine.
