so i have this program that should be able to download mp3 from various source, and it does work when i boot it locally but when i boot it on render or heroku, only the soundcloud works and the upload video to mp3 conversion doesnt work.

this is the code that im running

for the drag n drop video to mp3 conversion

please can anyone help me clear up these issues, im really clueless of how i can fix these since i don’t understand much of python and used chatgpt to get this far in these couple of days
obs: i replaced all the".com" and “https” to “xxx” because new users are only allowed to post 2 links per topic

That’s where the problem is. ChatGPT is NOT a good source of code. I recommend starting with your requirements, and figuring out how to achieve each step. The code you have may be of some value, but it’s also quite probably easier to throw it out and start over. I’m sorry you’ve wasted so much time with ChatGPT that this problem is now urgent, but the best solution is to start from a solid foundation and build from there.

3

I haven’t looked in detail at your code, since you didn’t format it in a very readable way, but this clearly implies that there is no problem as such with the code. The code as such seems to be fine, and ChatGPT apparently did an excellent job with that. If so, then the problem is with how this code is being deployed on a particular platform.

Running on a local host or running on a remote web host may be different for all kinds of reasons. If you ask ChatGPT about this, it will be able to come up with some valid hints what those might be (for instance, the python install could be limited in capabilities, access to the local filesystem may be non-existent or extremely limited - limits needed because of security concerns which don’t necessarily apply in the same way on a local host; heroku may also be wrapping the code in particular ways that have the effect of limiting the capabilities; heroku may not have been configured appropriately for your script). (Another likely cause of at least some errors is very simple: required runtime dependencies may be either missing or not accessible due to different OS env variables on the web host.)

Regulars on this site are mostly hypercritical of ChatGPT for various good reasons. But I assume, given what you write, that you would never have gotten this far (as fast as you have) without having used it - whatever ChatGPTs demerits may be. One way to proceed is to learn how to do things by yourself - this is the hard, time-consuming, traditional and proper way. (“Throw those crutches away and start walking on your own legs!” Good advise, if you don’t mind crawling through the dust for quite a while.) Another way is to use ChatGPT more effectively by asking it smaller, more precise questions which you can test/verify/falsify more easily. You could start, for instance, by asking it to explain each of the error messages you are getting, making sure to mention that you are running on different kinds of platforms. So, use it to learn (more about) how to debug the program.

It might actually also be able to come up with a valid analysis if you just dump the problem as a whole in its lap (including the stack trace and errors) and ask it what’s up. The problem with that approach is that you would then probably not be in a position to evaluate its replies. So, imo, it’s important to use a piecemeal approach in which at each step you can both learn and verify that what it replies is valid/usable.

I was debugging it futher using chatgpt, came as far to change pytube for yt-dlp but the file always came corrupted and the .crdownload was always there too.
switched up ngrok for now

6

thanks everyone for the replies!

I also recommend changing your app.secret_key. That should be secret, and not hardcoded into the source code.

8
  1. Your code looks much better now. In some cases we might copy your code and run it to see the error and find a possible solution.
  2. Don’t put your app.secret_key right in the code, put the secret key in a .env file. Or on Azure use a Key Vault. python-dotenv · PyPI
# How to use a .env file.
# Example .env file: 
secret_key=12345677
username=julio

# Python code
from dotenv import dotenv_values
# config will be a dictionary of values.
config = dotenv_values(".env")  # config = {"USER": "foo", "EMAIL": "foo@example.org"}
9

Note that this works only when the .env file isn’t shared. So you need some other mechanism for sending that file to your deployment.

(This is generally a good idea anyway though - it means you can have different credentials and secrets on prod and on dev. For example, if I’m hosting something on Heroku and it needs a database, I need to use valid database credentials for my Heroku-hosted app; but when I’m running it on my own PC for initial dev/debugging, my Postgres database is on localhost.)

10

Correct, I just didn’t mention that. I have a function to get my secrets, usernames, smtp email server, and stuff and the function will determine if I’m in the local dev environment on my PC or in my production environment in Azure.

We also have 2 versions of an app and databases which my Python program need to talk to. One is for production, one is for testing. They are on 2 different IP addresses.

11

did you get to run it? i got a requirement.txt at:

12
  1. Heroku doesn’t have a file system (or rather, it deletes anything that your code uploads to it), so your script is not going to work on Heroku.
  2. You do realize you are using a path for UPLOAD_DIRECTORY that only exists on your machine, don’t you?
13

Yes, the thing is i don’t know how i can change the code that it will be delivered as a browser attachment only since the dls saves the files on the local machine.
Could you help me with that?

14

Ok so as it is now, i got it to work using the io module

15

You also need the ffmpeg utility in your path statement so the program can call it. Did you do that part too? One of the errors says it cannot find “ffmpeg”.

haven’t checked here for a while so better late then never:
i have fixed the ffmpeg error by importing it to the project

17

Can you explain me how did you setup yt-dlp on heroku. I want to deploy my nodejs application that uses yt-dlp for downloading purpose.
