I am unable to download FFmpeg plugin from manual link which does not work

Audacity 3 Help Forum macOS

HI There

I am having trouble downloading the FFmpeg plugin needed to upload large audio files. When I follow the directions and click on the link in the manual the https://lame.buanzo.org/#lameosx64bitdl page will not load. I have tried accessing through the audacity libraries route see if the link is working another way but get the same thing. Is the website down or is there somewhere else I can get an FFmpeg plug in from? Is this plugin specific for audacity or can I get a general one from somewhere else?

I am using macOS Catalina 10.15.6 and Audacity 2.4.2

thanks for any help

The link is working for me. Cloudflare was down earlier today so that might have been the problem.

I don’t know if the problem has been sorted for this person, but for me I am unable to access any other ffmpeg sites since a couple of months ago when I first tried. It tells me they it can’t reach the page because the site failed to respond to connection attempts. This is replicated on all devices I’ve tried. Need help :confused:

The link to “download page” on this page in the manual works for me.

After you get to the download page you want to download ffmpeg_64bit_osx.pkg.

this link “https://lame.buanzo.org/#lameosx64bitdl” definitely does not work
I have even tried to curl and wget it.
Audacity is an amazing piece of software, why are you all pretending that the ffmpeg download works?

curl https://lame.buanzo.org
curl: (7) Failed to connect to lame.buanzo.org port 443: Connection refused

This link is does not work.

Working fine for me with Firefox.
Curl may not work as the site owner blocks leeching.

Can’t see with Firefox/Chrome/Safari. Here’s a screenshot from firefox.
Is this something to do with geolocation?
I am in London. Have tried from mobile too.
Would be great to have this on another domain.

I wouldn’t have thought so as I’m also in England.
Hang on in there while I see if I can find anything out.

lame.buanzo.org is behind cloudflare.

the unable to connect error shown in your screen capture makes me believe your nameserver/dns settings are not correct, or something else is wrong

please try:

a) another browser, same computer
b) another computer or mobile device, using wifi (same connection as “a”)
c) different connection, mobile device

Run a full antivirus and a malware scanner, please.

If there were any issue with your Geo or IP, you would have been shown a CloudFlare error page with a Ray ID.

Thanks. It seems like my providers were blocking for some reason. This seems to be a common problem. I have tried on a different connection and it’s working now.
