tmp file not found

[claudio4]

I have been trying to use this program but I always get a whatever.tmp.mkv: No such file or directory error immediatly after ffmpeg's banner (example below). I have tried to use Node v21.5.0, v18.19.0 and v16.15.1. I also tried to modify the ffmpeg-static version and I have used both 5.0.0 (recommended in other issue) and 5.1.0 . But I get the same result.

The preferred quality was not found, downgraded to 1080p

Any help would be appreciated.

I am having the same error as well. @abdulrahman1s please help.

[AkinaSS]

I also got the same issue too, I haven't modify anything yet since I don't know how to do so without breaking things, my ffmpeg version is 6.0 and node version is v20.11.1 from what looks like in this stack trace

(Use `node --trace-uncaught ...` to show where the exception was thrown)

Node.js v20.11.1

I would very appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction or how to fix this, I heard that it still working but idk...

This error is only happening in Unix based OS.

This error is only happening in Unix based OS.

True I think, btw I run this on WSL Ubuntu so I don't know...

[abdulrahman1s]

Is this issue happening only with this course, or is it occurring with any course you're trying to download? If it's specific to a course, please email me at [email protected] with your account credentials (cookies), and I'll work on fixing it this week.

Is this issue happening only with this course, or is it occurring with any course you're trying to download?

With any course.

[abdulrahman1s]

That's strange, could you provide additional information like what distro you ware using, and what tool did you use to run the program? (npm or pnpm)

[ferdinandodanise]

Hi, I had same issue and I understood that the problem was about subtitles not present for that course. Try to unselect subtitles

[claudio4]

I tried it in OpenSUSE TW on WSL and in Debian bookworm on a VM. In oS I used both npm and pnpm, in Deb I only tried npm.

Consider that me and the author of the issue try to download different courses and got the same error, I think it looks like it's every course applied
For more information, I run it in Ubuntu on WSL, I don't know the correct version but I download it straight from the Microsoft Store (the first one on search) so it's safe to assume that it's the newest version of it. I tried both npm and pnpm but it gives the same error
The only thing I notice is when it's failed to download, the only thing it leaves back is a vtt file like here, probably for the video subtitle, the rest is not found

I see but the course I try to download does have subtitles though if you checked, so I don't think that's the case

We can conclude that this is a compatibility issue on Unix-based systems, I've found an old fork that works on Linux.
The fork is 17 commits behind https://github.com/kruzkasu223/fem-dl-working/tree/master, my assumptions are perhaps the code broke while refactoring.

Thought I'd post this so others who get the issue get to try to use this solution
