Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

when i start the service that has the replied code, i get this popup:
"Failed to start the audio_downloader service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error.
Contact your system administrator if the problem persists."

#

i already tried to check the event logger but got this:

Started C:\Program Files\Python313\python.exe C:\Users\mikoyan_32\Desktop\Laboratory\audio_server\main.py for service audio_downloader in C:\Program Files\Python313.

Program C:\Program Files\Python313\python.exe for service audio_downloader exited with return code 1.

Killing process tree of process 20304 for service audio_downloader with exit code 1

Killing PID 20304 in process tree of PID 20304 because service audio_downloader is stopping.

Service audio_downloader action for exit code 1 is Restart. Attempting to restart C:\Program Files\Python313\python.exe.

Service audio_downloader ran for less than 1500 milliseconds. Restart will be delayed by 128000 milliseconds.

Service audio_downloader received STOP control, which will be handled.

Requested stop of service audio_downloader.  No action is required as program C:\Program Files\Python313\python.exe is not running.

Windows Services

Unfortunately you are working with yt_dlp and as a general rule of thumb, this server doesn't provide help for things that break ToS of platforms.

calm mulch
#

another code that has nothing to do with ytdl

rain jungle
#

well, we already know what the motive is, so no

calm mulch
#

look

#

there is no bad motive here

#

it is python and the way it works with windows services

rain jungle
#

sure, but it's against YouTube's ToS, and they're a big company. This server's existence would be at jeopardy if people started helping out with stuff like this.

calm mulch
#

ok, explain why python won't work with windows services

rain jungle
#

unless a moderator says it's okay, you're not going to get any help

calm mulch
#

look i could definitly lie and show u another code

#

and still get the exact error

#

but my mother always told that honesty lasts the longest

#

let it slide this time, please !

#

you might learn of this and help a guy in the future that is having same issue ( but different code )

#

how to tackle the issue between python and windows services
