Anyone ideas?

Hi, same error is mentioned before. Check out: #6
It seems to be a common theme with windows and python editing stuff. If you do enough googling, I think you'll find a solution. I worked on this in Linux and Mac. Hope this helps!

On which version of Python did you worked on?

[zackmawaldi]

Python 3.8 if I recall correctly. 3+ for sure

Hi @zackmawaldi. I ran into this same problem on Windows 11, and I have tried literally every solution to fix it, but it just doesn't work :( It would be really helpful if you could take a better look at this. Thank you.

@jxck13 Hmm... I updated the code recently, can you retry it with the new code? (and also sorry for late reply, life got super busy!)

PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'videos2\main_clip.mp4'

error is still here (windows 11, 3.11.4)

Got the same error, the video gets downloaded and the program did work once.

PermissionError: [WinError 32] Het proces heeft geen toegang tot het bestand omdat het door een ander

Retrying...
