[Known Bug] Jukebox can't play YouTube live videos on some environments / OS

Open Hazmi35 opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Issue: Jukebox tries to play YouTube live videos, but it will stop immediately with no errors

Causes: This is caused by the bundled FFmpeg on some OS or environments that can't handle input as an URL, for example, Alpine Linux and Arch Linux. Windows and Mac OS (not confirmed) are not affected, only the Linux version of bundled FFmpeg is affected, but Debian-based Linux Distribution is not affected.

Workaround: Use system ffmpeg instead of the bundled one with ffmpeg-static. Install ffmpeg, then add ffmpeg binary path to FFMPEG_BIN environment variable, it can be set either manually (export FFMPEG_BIN=path) or using the .env file

The alpine.Dockerfile has this exact workaround. Using jukebox through the official Docker images is recommended.
