Youtube downloader does not work on Windows 10
youtube-dl.exe - System Error
The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. All I did was download this executable & double click on it to get that! https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl.exe What Windows 10 program am I supposed to reinstall and how do I do that? |

All I did was download this executable & double click on it to get that! https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl.exe What Windows 10 program am I supposed to reinstall and how do I do that? Welcome to Visual Studio Redistributable roulette. Let's take an example. Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package vcredist_x86.exe === all versions have the same name Date Published: 2010-04-12 to make it "easier" later :-) File Size: 4.8 MB https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/down...s.aspx?id=5555 With 7ZIP, I look inside: vcredist_x86.exe\.\.\.\.\vc_red.cab\ F_CENTRAL_msvcr100_x86 770,384 bytes On a 64-bit Windows install, it's generally a good idea to install both the x86 and the x64 version while you're at it. Since I have x64 Win10 installs here, I'd get both downloads and do both of them. https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/down....aspx?id=13523 vcredist_x64.exe F_CENTRAL_msvcr100_x64 829,264 bytes The installer will correct the names, and the 7ZIP check is merely to satisfy my curiosity that I'm getting "close to the correct file". I don't have to download any more and go fishing for names, as this may bs sufficient to get the show on the road. Now, say you suspect you've got "stale" versions by accepting random links in your web browser. Do a reboot, visit Windows Update, and it should patch them up for you (to the latest version). It must do that, because I remember an early version of Win10 got into a loop, updating two of those files over and over... and over again. What fun :-/ ******* Other places you can look: Right-click Start "control.exe" Programs and Features Windows Features and see if any rubbish like that is present there. Sometimes there's a fill-in version of dotNET there. In a sense these are similar to dotNET, but they're from another time, and are part of Visual Studio IDE and compiler set. These files contain runtime subroutines the main program may need. Sometimes the OS installer DVD has a folder with rubbish of that sort in it too. And some Windows SDK once, had a good sized folder of DirectX rubbish, suitable for gamers (that collection was *much* better than going web fishing). But since this isn't trivial pursuit, you can get the files off the microsoft website. ******* There are sample links here, for a multitude of these. An earlier one, you have to download .NET 1.1 to get the file you need. https://gist.github.com/mmozeiko/de5...8bf4253bed8b3e It's really not supposed to work this way. Because the files are redistributable, a developer can package the DLL in question, in the download. There is not supposed to be any grief involved. Instead, the developers save on bandwidth, by making the users "go fishing" for the damn dependency. And I think you can guess what I think of that practice. Even if the developer would leave a README file with the URL(s) of the web pages needed to complete the install, that would be much better than the ignorant attitude the developers express. And they do the same thing with .NET. In theory, it's possible to do dynamic loads of DLLs, and write nice descriptive error messages if a dependency is missing. Instead, yahoos from the developer community, allow their program to emit an "mscoree error". The user is then supposed to pull a Kreskin and say "Oh, some version of dotNET is missing from my OS". Then the user gets lucky and downloads the correct numbered version. Really, nothing much changes in the software world. Roulette today, roulette tomorrow. Paul |

Each version has a "runtime", which is one or more files needed for software to work. It's like a set of tools that's used by software written in VS2012. The tools have to be installed, too. You should be able to get the runtime installer. Though I'm surprised it's not pre- installed on Win10. The real problem is with youtube-dl.exe. They should have done their job right and made an installer, or at least provided a message to explain the problem. Instead they just mention it in a note buried in their half-assed help file. See that file, an HTML that comes with the program, for more info. |

Welcome to Visual Studio Redistributable roulette. Your advice plus that of Mayayanana solved the error! Because of this warning at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=26999 "A security issue has been identified leading to a vulnerability in MFC applications that are built with Visual Studio 2010 and ship the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package." I first tried just adding the missing DLL by installing just that security update but that just moved the roulette message to a different error altogether. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=26999 Second I installed the original Microsoft package which underwrites that update. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/down...s.aspx?id=5555 Third I reinstalled that first update to overwrite the original. |

Malwarebytes went bonkers on some kind of popups (cobalten.com?) A "success page" asked to "show notifications" which I habitually block. https://www.onlinevideoconverter.com/en/success It had a "Download" button which gave this URL to the MP3 file https://sv9.onlinevideoconverter.com...a0e4i8h7c2b1c2 So, that video converter web page certainly worked. Thanks. I prefer to NOT use a web site to download & convert but as a backup solution, that web site page certainly was easy to use! |

I have them installed as part of a codec, but not in association with youtube-dl. You bring up a good topic which is why is FFMPEG needed, where I think it's maybe needed for the MP3 conversion???? I think there may be the age-old problem that nobody can bundle some specific MP3 conversion into their software distribution, so you have to get the stuff separately maybe? I don't know. I don't really understand this MP3/Lame/FFMPEG legal stuff. But for years and years and years we've had to get the MP3 conversion separately from software - haven't we? At least I remember that we have had to do that (like with MPC or Irfanview, as I recall)??? I could look MP3 legalities up (LAME comes to mind, whatever that is) but since it's not a problem to have the FFMPEG stuff in the path, I just put it in the current directory (or we can specify where it's found in the command line). Here is what the "help" says about "ffmpeg" youtube-dl.exe --help | findstr "ffmpeg" --hls-prefer-native = Use the native HLS downloader instead of ffmpeg --hls-prefer-ffmpeg = Use ffmpeg instead of the native HLS downloader --external-downloader COMMAND = Use the specified external downloader.

The latest version *should* be all that's needed. I had the SAME situation on a different machine where I never realized that the youtube-dl.exe Windows executable NEEDED the "VC10" runtime stuff. This is a new Win10 setup, where I was surprised at that error. The VC10 is easily enough added where I wish the error message was better. In my own case I generally use the Video DownloadHelper extension. It can't get some things, like commercial music. I doubt that youtube-dl can, either, but I haven't made much effort. There is nothing wrong with having multiple sources for downloaders. The Youtube-dl.exe seems to be updated easily to the latest version. youtube-dl.exe -U It seems to take a LOT of web sites' video but I'm sure they all vary. Aside from occasional attacks of nostalgia that make me want to hear music from my youth, I'm mostly downloading lectures and such that are not restricted. Nothing I listen to is even slightly restricted. For example, I love to listen to lectures from Richard Feynman, Leonard Susskind, Walter Lewin, etc., all as youtube-downloaded MP3 files easily downloaded and converted directly into a playlist. I'm still not clear about how many types of restriction there are and how they work. I'm guessing that those files (music from a company called "Vevo", for example) requires that one only pass through the youtube site but actually stream directly from the provider site. I'm not sure what you mean by "vevo" but I can google. I just tested an arbitrary top-songs of 2018 search Vevo link with the youtube-dl.exe and it worked fine. https://youtu.be/7PCkvCPvDXk youtube-dl.exe -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 https://youtu.be/7PCkvCPvDXk [youtube] 7PCkvCPvDXk: Downloading webpage [youtube] 7PCkvCPvDXk: Downloading video info webpage [youtube] 7PCkvCPvDXk: Extracting video information WARNING: unable to extract uploader nickname [youtube] 7PCkvCPvDXk: Downloading js player vfliK45Zi [download] Destination: Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass-7PCkvCPvDXk.webm [download] 100% of 3.04MiB in 00:48 [ffmpeg] Destination: Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass-7PCkvCPvDXk.mp3 Deleting original file Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass-7PCkvCPvDXk.webm (pass -k to keep) The resulting file was 6,348,309 Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass-7PCkvCPvDXk.mp3 I deleted it as it was just a test.

(I have to search because Youtube is a mess these days. Their pages are almost pure javascript and I disable script. So I search for a URL, paste it, then get a white page and either the DH icon lights up or it doesn't. I can't read anything on the page because even the text is embedded in some monstrous blend of script and JSON.) But I'm happy with the demonstration you gave me of the fat teenybopper singing god-knows-what. I don't really want to be trying to bypass Hollywood copyright blockades like VEVO. I just want to be able to get videos that are legal to get. |

If you have a vimeo link you want to test, I can test it for you easily. I really haven't explored the possibilities with youtube-dl. Most of the time I just don't care all that much. I understand fully. We all work with software every day. We spend only as much time as we need to so that we get things done. If the youtube-dl.exe didn't work to get a song, I'd find some other way. But the youtube-dl.exe seems to work pretty good on lots of web sites. Example: Last week I discovered an interesting character on PBS Firing Line -- a psychologist from Ontario named Jordan Peterson who's making waves. I wanted to hear some of his talks and had no trouble getting them because they're mostly from non-profit venues. Until you asked me to look for songs on vimeo, I get almost all if not all my stuff from youtube. Pretty much anything I want is already on youtube. But I can understand if you want stuff that is not on youtube. One thing I'd like to get since I'm NOT an audiophile is a quick playlist of the top 100 songs of every year, which I could then download overnight and populate an iPod so that I could LEARN what people are listening to. Likewise with the top 100 classical pieces that people love most. Things like that. The work is in COMPILING an accurate list! I don't want to do that work since I don't really care to compile my own list. All I want is to LEARN what others think, so it would be an AVERAGE. It would play in the background when I am working on other tasks. This week I had a bout of nostagia and wanted to hear some old Phil Ochs songs.

I just want to be able to get videos that are legal to get. I'm not a lawyer. I don't even make believe I play being one. Therefore what I "think" is legal isn't up to me. Even so, I'm "allowed" to use common sense. Here is a set of "common sense" that people could easily argue about. But they're still common sense topics that are arguably valid. Youtube clearly HOSTS the videos. Youtube has RULES which if you actually go to the YOUTUBE web site, might apply. Just because youtube says something doesn't make it legal in any place, or in every place, in any situation, or in every situation. Also, Youtube has rules which apply to people who LOG IN. Those rules can be different than people who just LISTEN to videos. Here are some more common sense arguably valid logical thoughts. It's clear that Youtube knows all about youtube-dl.exe. Certainly Youtube has the source code. Of that there is no doubt. Youtube-dl.exe has been around for YEARS. Of that there is no doubt. If youtube wanted to BREAK the youtube-dl.exe mechanism, they could. If youtube wanted to sue the youtube people - they would. There would be an injunction in fifteen seconds flat. Youtube certainly has the MONEY to make their lives miserable. Does youtube use their money to make youtube.dl.exe lives miserable? I don't know. I am not a lawyer. So I don't look up court cases. It certainly hasn't hit the news like napster did. Or if it did hit the news, then I missed it. So did you and everyone else most likely. Is downloading from youtube legal? Well, first thing I will repeat is that I don't know. Second thing I will repeat is youtube can say anything they want. Saying stuff doesn't make it legal. Nor does saying stuff make it legal everywhere. Nor does saying stuff make it legal in all circumstances. I don't know what youtube says. You know why that doesn't matter? Because youtube-dl.exe is what I use. It says nothing. It doesn't even log into the web page. I like that you used a switch that didn't even look at the web page. My position is that it doesn't matter what youtube says if youtube isn't being used. The program uses whatever URL I give it. I don't ever read a youtube page nor do I agree to any youtube agreement. I don't even know what the youtube agreement entails because I don't visit the youtube web page (if I have a list of URLs anyway). Long story. But the short ending is that if youtube thought it was illegal, they have the money to shut them down. So it's clearly not illegal. Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer. That is just a logical opinion that is based on facts that are those that I outlined above. There could be plenty of other facts I don't know about. I'm sure some goody two shoes is going to scream that it's piracy but they need to fit that into the facts above. Anyone who thinks it's piracy has to explain what agreement I signed. They have to explain whether that agreement is legal where I live. And they have to explain how that agreement applies to me. Also, they have to explain why youtube doesn't have an injunction. In real estate terms, if you let people walk all over a path then they can get a prescriptive easement to walk on that path forever simply because you let them do it for years. It's basic English Common Law stuff. Again, I'm NOT a lawyer. I never said I was. If you're a lawyer, say so. It's ok to have a discussion. But I see it as completely legal. BTW, I deleted all the above downloaded files. Why? I didn't want them. They were just a test. |

It was an arbitrary "vevo" link in that it was the first song found in the 2018 list of top songs search. I presume that worked for you in youtube-dl.exe (but not in DownloadHelper). That would indicate that, at least for that one Vevo song, that the youtube-dl.exe is more robust - but we'd have to check lots to make that conclusion accurate. That's the tune I used, when experimenting with "screen capture" of Youtube videos :-) I had a lot of trouble with lip sync. The audio and video used to wander around so much, I couldn't even guess what the offset was half the time. Consider yourself lucky that you have downloaders that work. Otherwise, you'd have to fork out for an HDMI capture card. Paul |

Consider yourself lucky that you have downloaders that work. The youtube-dl.exe hasn't failed me yet. Not once. But I don't TEST it as much as I simply use it. And the stuff I want isn't high quality stuff. Mostly it's lectures. Still, it passed the vimeo and vevo tests of Mayayana. So far anyway. If Mayayana wants to give other URLs I'll be glad to test them for him. The lip sync problem I don't see because I mostly strip out the video. All I hear is the audio. If needed, I use Audacity to play with that audio but usually I don't. Speaking of audacitgy, I just noticed in my audacity log file this. ----------------- You will need the lame mp3 encoder http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/f..._ins.html#lame Because of software patents, Audacity cannot include MP3 encoding software or distribute such software from its own websites. Instead, use the following instructions to download and install the free and recommended LAME third-party encoder to export MP3 files with Audacity. See the LAME Legal Issues page for more details. ----------------- That might explain why we have to get FFMPEG separately for the youtube-dl. BTW, what the heck is "avconv" anyway? Googling it seems to be associated with FFMPEG somehow. Maybe it's an alternative MP3 converter that does the same thing? It seems to be made by "koxx3" and to be associated maybe with Libav? https://libav.org/download/ I can't find a source that says it's from "koxx3" though. https://libav.org/avconv.html Is avconv essentially the same thing as FFMPEG only different? |

The only reason I ask about avconv is that the youtube-dl.exe help page suggests that the MP3 conversion is either by FFMPEG or avconv. This seem to be the avconv home page https://libav.org/avconv.html This seems to have downloads https://libav.org/download/ This seems to be for Windows binaries http://builds.libav.org/windows/ You have a choice of one of these two but I don't know the difference http://builds.libav.org/windows/release-gpl/ http://builds.libav.org/windows/release-lgpl/ One is GPL and the other is "Lesser" GPL, but I didn't read further for which one I would want as a normal user with youtube-dl.exe purposes. Inside those two download (GPL & LGPL) pages are lots of confusing choices. Which is simply the most current for a basic 64-bit normal Windows 10 PC? Does this seem to you to be the LATEST 64-bit Windows normal release? GPL 2016-Jun-01 09:21 http://builds.libav.org/windows/rele...ingw32-11.7.7z LGPL 2016-Jun-01 09:08 http://builds.libav.org/windows/rele...ingw32-11.7.7z |
