change the doanload_video function as below can download video with audio
`import os

@moyusxs Thanks to your code, the error doesn't occur. But still there are no video or audio files created in the output folder. Do you have any idea about this?

You can try the following code

Thank you so much! It works. But almost a half of videos are not downloaded generating some txt files. Does this happen to you as well?

[Cuiyuhang001]

The video link provided by the author is old, and perhaps some of the videos have been removed from the shelves, so they cannot be downloaded. This is my opinion

@universome Can you kindly please reply to this comment. I am also being able to download only 4 videos among which only a small portion of the face was visible in case of 3 videos.
