Process fails on windows

[jezzdk]

Upgraded the youtube-dl-php library to use master branch and the error has changed:

The command "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\youtube-dl.exe "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGk5fR-t5AU" --no-playlist --print-json --ignore-config "--format=137+140/best" --simulate" failed.

Exit Code: 255(Unknown error)

Working directory: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\storage\assets\downloads

Everyone has write access to the working directory, so I don't know why it says access denied.

Getting closer. Tried the solution mentioned here ytdl-org/youtube-dl#10766 and it works. Only problem is that youtube-dl-php doesn't allow further prefixing of the command.

According to the mentioned solution, the command would need to be changed from:
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\youtube-dl.exe "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGk5fR-t5AU" --no-playlist --print-json --ignore-config "--format=137+140/best" --simulate"

To something like:
"c:\python\python.exe c:\inetpub\wwwroot\youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGk5fR-t5AU" --no-playlist --print-json --ignore-config "--format=137+140/best" --simulate".

I can hack the YoutubeDL class by adding array_unshift($arguments, 'C:\Python\python.exe'); to the createProcess() method and then it works, but you know...

Created pull request.

[norkunas]

What about $yt->setBinPath('C:\Python\python.exe c:\inetpub\wwwroot\youtube-dl.exe'); ? Could you try it?

[jezzdk]

I tried it, but it gets quoted in a way so the command fails:
"C:\Python\python.exe c:\inetpub\wwwroot\youtube-dl.exe"

Should be quoted like this:
"C:\Python\python.exe" "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\youtube-dl.exe"

[norkunas]

OK, merged ;)

@jezzdk and @norkunas i am facing the same error can you please let me know how can i fix this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Error Output:

Fatal Python error: Failed to initialize Windows random API (CryptoGen)

[norkunas]

@usamamashkoor so have you tried $yt->setPythonPath()?

[Achilles718611]

I've got the same error.
I set python path, but got the same error.

[norkunas]

I've got the same error.
I set python path, but got the same error.

Could you dump the generated command line?

[Achilles718611]

Please check.
If I run command in terminal, it works.

[norkunas]

Did you try to call $dl->setPythonPath() to configure the path to python ?

[Achilles718611]

I set python path.
I use Pyton 3.6.
As you can see it doens't worke even I set Python path.

[norkunas]

Okay, so now it's a different error. From the context I can only guess that somehow your environment configuration breaks this and from here I can't help you anymore, so you'll have to search the solution based on the error you have now. Maybe this would help for you appveyor/ci#1995 (comment)

[Achilles718611]

I think it's not environment problem, if I enter command on terminal directly, it works.

[norkunas]

I think still it is. The started process probably doesn't get all needed env vars and so it fails.
Could you try to directly edit symfony Process code and add for example PYTHONPATH and 'SYSTEMROOT' env vars with proper values? See mgedmin/check-manifest#52

[Achilles718611]

Can you tell me in detail, please?

[Achilles718611]

I think it's not related with youtube dl library, maybe it's related with symfony process.
Thanks for your help.
