Python ~ Youtube-dl: Error: No Such Option: --audio-format

Here is my code : call(['youtube-dl', '-i', '--extract-audio', '--audio-format mp3','-w','ytsearch:'+song ,'-o '+song2file(song)+'.%(ext)s'], shell=False) Note:This is an impleme

Solution 1:

as part of solution, it better to format your string properly like this:

arg= ['-i', '--extract-audio', '--audio-format mp3','-w','ytsearch:'+song ,'-o 
'+song2file(song)+'.%(ext)s'];yt-arg= " ".join(str(x) for x in arg);

then call it

subprocess.call(['youtube-dl', yt-arg], shell=False)

this already solve the problem you describe but it seems still have issue on the -o option. please remember to format your string properly, not carelessly.
