Why i downloaded this video with yt-dlp from TikTok, but it has no sound.
This is link video https://www.tiktok.com/@j_k_123_7/video/7654589734496341262.
This cmd line: yt-dlp --output "%(description).150B [%(id)s] #1.%(ext)s" -i https://www.tiktok.com/@j_k_123_7/video/7654589734496341262 -f "bv*[vcodec^=avc]+ba[ext=m4a]/b[ext=mp4]/b"

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

  • Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
