I have this python code: def download_song_as_base64(song_name): try: # Create a temporary directory for the downloaded and converted files temp_dir = "./temp" os.makedirs(temp_dir, exist_ok=True) # Define file paths output_path = os.path.join(temp_dir, "%(title)s.%(ext)s") mp3_file = os.path.join(temp_dir, "song.mp3") # Download the video from YouTube ydl_opts = { 'format': 'bestaudio/best', 'outtmpl': output_path, 'postprocessors': [{ 'key': 'FFmpegExtractAudio', 'preferredcodec': 'mp3', 'preferredquality': '192', }], } with YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl: info = ydl.extract_info(f"ytsearch:{song_name}", download=True) # Get the downloaded MP3 file name downloaded_file = ydl.prepare_filename(info['entries'][0]).replace(".webm", ".mp3").replace(".m4a", ".mp3") if not os.path.isfile(downloaded_file): raise FileNotFoundError(f"The file {downloaded_file} was not found.") # Encode the MP3 file in Base64 with open(downloaded_file, 'rb') as audio_file: audio_data = audio_file.read() base64_audio = "data:audio/mpeg;base64," + base64.b64encode(audio_data).decode('utf-8') print(base64_audio) # Clean up temporary files for file in os.listdir(temp_dir): os.remove(os.path.join(temp_dir, file)) os.rmdir(temp_dir) return base64_audio except Exception as e: print(f"Error downloading or converting song: {e}") return None But no matter what file I upload, the encoding to base64 comes out bad. I copy and paste it on the base64 to audio site, and it plays for less than a second of the song itself, and stops. Who knows where the fault is here? The mp3 file itself is correct and complete, I have already checked it. And it doesn't just happen in one file, it just creates the base64 encoding incorrectly. Where is the problem here? That a proper base64 will be created for my MP3 file. Continue reading...
