How can i fix this?

I'm trying to download an mp3, but I can only download webm files. How can I get an mp3 instead?

This is cool, but upsampling is a sin.

Have a look the following screen.

https://github.com/yask123/Instant-Music-Downloader/blob/master/music_downloader.py#L10

We do not want to except accept empty inputs :)

https://github.com/yask123/Instant-Music-Downloader/blob/master/music_downloader.py#L24

May change when Youtube Website may get gets updated in the future.

every time i try to download some song it gives me an error with the following details. can you help?

local variable 'audiofile' referenced before assignment
couldnt get album art

Would be cool if instantmusic could accept an argument to launch a program

so like
instantmusic -p vlc

and after instantmusic is done, it would launch vlc <song.mp3>

Write a script to install this script in windows .
The script should copy the main script to a folder and add that location's path in it's windows environment location so that the script can be invoked from any directory.

I get
youtube_dl-0.0.2/bin/youtube-dl:2: Invalid char\x03' in expression (SyntaxError)`

when downloading, and nothing actually downloads.

Btw - I love this thing!

Responding with "Y" or "yes" causes application to quit with no feedback. Ideally the prompt should accept all reasonable inputs, or provide feedback upon quitting ("Please respond with "y" or "n")

readline seems to work only on Mac OS X. This makes the script unusable, atleast on Windows.

How about supporting a file containing search terms and downloading concurrently.

What if this could grab the relevant file metadata + file title and apply it after it's been downloaded from YouTube automagically? Would definitely help keep an iTunes library clean.

Some of my not-so-technical friends have expressed interest in being able to use this tool, and I don't think I would be successful in trying to convince them to use the command line :D

Thinking of creating a very simple web interface and hosting it on a DO droplet somewhere, if that is cool with you @yask123. If I did, would you want the page to be called "Instant Music Downloader" or something else..?

a -y or --yes flag for accepting the Download song (y/n) prompt?
would make using this program in shell scripts easier 😄

The error is in the url as it contains two forward slashes instead of one.

Tried to install for OSX Yosemite, got:

ERROR: ffprobe or avprobe not found. Please install one.

Please include libav as requirement.

Please help me,
I want to download a youtube video with its subtitles
but then this: -bash: /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl: Permission denied always appears.

v******:~ vivien$ youtube-dl --write-srt --wirte-auto-sub 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YhpWZCdiZc'

It looks like you have MIT listed in a few places on the project, but it would be nice to have a license in the project and maybe a note of it in the README so it's clear to everyone how you want it used. Thanks!

Instead of displaying the entire traceback it would be nice to display a readable error telling the user to check their internet connection.

Hello, On Mac OS X I could not get this installed until I searched and used an easy_install command, which then had a ton of errors, needing sudo. It finally installed. I am finding it is not terribly great at matching the type of music I am looking for, which is rather mainstream to be honest.

Current issue:
Once it does find a song, I select "y" and get the below error, which I am sure is installed in /Library as I can see it there.
sh: youtube-dl: command not found

Also, is there a help or man page, where do I configure where downloads go, what format they are in, specific perhaps minimum bitrates etc? Where are the songs sourced from ,are these all youtube rips?

Hi!

I tried to install this nice tool to my nas, but when I try to download anything, it crashes with a long error flood...

Here You Can see the full output: https://asciinema.org/a/dxrdy8tdcqk9643g3mmaqpaam

Thanks!

Currently, downloaded songs don't have artist, album and other details. It would be a nice feature if these details could be added automatically.

You can use joe or copy from Python.gitignore

Anyone know why readline import isn't working in virtualenv on OS X 10.11? Having permissions issues with install in regular system environment with writing to:

'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/etc'

Believe SH trying to write to locked areas of El Capitan.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python 3.5\Scripts\instantmusic.py", line 36, in <module>
    print("Found: " + title)
  File "c:\program files (x86)\python 3.5\lib\encodings\cp437.py", line 19, in encode
    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_map)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2013' in position 35: character maps to <undefined>

A quick soln would be to add import sys and then replace the print line with:

print("Found: " + title.encode('utf8').decode(sys.stdout.encoding))

This should allow nice results on *nix and garbled but at least working results on windows

Resolved in #42
Show users atleast first page of search results like below screenshot:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/instantmusic", line 277, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/local/bin/instantmusic", line 274, in main
    print('Downloaded: %s' % ', '.join(downloads))

In a bunch of places you use the content field of the response from requests.get(), when you should be using the text since you're dealing with HTML, which has an encoding. I'm pretty sure that if you change all of those, except if you are actually dealing with binary content (I haven't looked yet), then you can fix this.

This is python 3 specific.

I'll put in a PR tonight if I get a chance.

After a fresh sudo pip install instantmusic on Mac, choosing a song would result in the following output:

Download "song-name"? (y/n) y

sh: youtube-dl: command not found
Fixing id3 tags

    raise IOError("file not found: %s" % path)
IOError: file not found: song-name.mp3

The root of the problem was obviously youtube-dl. I looked into it and for some reason pip downloaded the youtube-dl requirement but no executable in resulted from it (in /usr/local/bin/ or anywhere else). I'm not sure if this is just my configuration with pip (or something else entirely) or not but a simple

brew install youtube-dl

got things working for me. If I'm not the only Mac user with this error, you might consider adding the above command under the Mac installation documentation. If you know what my error is with youtube-dl not being available upon installing with pip, any tips on how to get it fixed would be appreciated.

It would be great if there was an option to isolate the search function and write the chosen results to a file, so they could all be downloaded at the same time. So that a playlist can be made. I've found that searching for the full url of the video will make that the first result. Same search function that pulls up the 10 first options, and then you choose which one will be added to a file.
something like:
instantmusic -c file.txt

I got this error:

instantmusic
File "/usr/bin/instantmusic", line 131
try:
^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

BTW: I'm using python3

Greetings,

When using a 3.x version of Python, id3 tags are unable to be inserted into downloaded files. An error:

Fixing id3 tags
a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

..and the resulting file has no tags.

When using a 2.x version, I see a few extra lines of output:

WARNING: "id" field is not a string - forcing string conversion
-snip-
Fixing id3 tags
Invalid URL '': No schema supplied. Perhaps you meant http://?

but the resulting file is correct.

sudo didnt help

I see breakpoint tags in the lyrics. These should be removed.

I have tried this script 7-8 times now and I have never been able to download music in .mp3 format.
It is either *.m4a or *.webm .
Can something be done here ?

I installed this with pip3.
Anytime I download a song I get:

'str' does not support the buffer interface

I'll fix this tonight if I get a chance.

Adding flags for audio quality, download location, etc should be great.

I got the following issue installing the package from PyPi:

mac:~ Huomenta$ pip search instantmusic
instantmusic - Instantly download any song! Without knowing the name of
the song!!!!
mac:~ Huomenta$ sudo pip install instantmusic

Just asked for song via lyrics listen to the bullshit he learned in school
Go something like Anita Sarkeesian bullshit taught in schools 11-12 grade as a result.

I get the same link in youtube as first search. Even though the actual song was in the 4th place in that search.

Why we are depending on first search? And especially even if it maybe not a song on the first search.

Can't we have multiple options list?.

Unable to install using command on ubuntu, so i tried installing using source. But it does not go any further than installing bf4. Can you help?

bash: /usr/local/bin/instantmusic: Permission denied

Running instantmusic on env with python 2.7.5 got error ImportError: No module named eyed3

Currently pip installation of instantmusic on Windows is unusable. This is because of the lack of console_scripts parameter in setup.py due to which no executable is created for series-renamer.

As a result, you get this error -

> instantmusic
'instantmusic' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

To fix this, a console_script entry point is needed.
Example : https://github.com/aviaryan/series-renamer/blob/master/setup.py#L28

The above setup works on all platforms perfectly.

On downloading song I get the following warnings and error on Ubuntu 12.04 machine
