File format

Im trying to download the audio as an mp3, but I keep getting the error:

com.sapher.youtubedl.YoutubeDLException: ERROR: ffprobe or avprobe not found. Please install one.

	at com.sapher.youtubedl.YoutubeDL.execute(YoutubeDL.java:90)
	at TestingFunctions.main(TestingFunctions.java:37)

I do have ffmpeg installed, so I don’t know whats the issue

Heres what I have in terms of code:

File a = new File("a.mp3");
		File b = new File("a.webm");
		if (a.exists()) {
			a.delete();
		}
		if (b.exists()) {
			b.delete();
		}

		String videoUrl = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrCKvKXvN2c";
		String directory = System.getProperty("user.dir");

		try {
			YoutubeDLRequest request = new YoutubeDLRequest(videoUrl, directory);
			YoutubeDL.setExecutablePath("/usr/local/Cellar/youtube-dl/2017.09.15/bin/youtube-dl");
			request.setOption("no-mark-watched");
			request.setOption("no-playlist");
			request.setOption("extract-audio");
			request.setOption("audio-format mp3");
			request.setOption("output a.%(ext)s");
			
			
			
			System.out.println("Downloading...");
			YoutubeDLResponse response = YoutubeDL.execute(request);

			String stdOut = response.getOut();
			
			System.out.println(stdOut);

		} catch (Exception YoutubeDLException) {
			YoutubeDLException.printStackTrace();
		}

If ffmpeg is installed you should be able to invoke it through the terminal by doing ffmpeg like so

You can add request.setOption("prefer-ffmpeg"); or request.setOption("prefer-avconv"); to force the use of one or another.

Also you can use request.setOption("ffmpeg-location /my_path/PATH"); to manually set the path of ffmpeg executable. I don’t think you have to do that. If you have youtube-dl, ffmpeg or avconv in your PATH it should work with no issue.

As this library seemed to be use by some people, I’m going to rethink the API.

Ok, that seemed to work. Thanks!
