No quality available

Error message

No quality available

What it means

Thrown by VimeoDownloader::download when the parsed MediaInfo has an empty available_qualities list, so there is no default format ('first') to select from. It means yt-dlp returned video info but no downloadable quality entries could be derived from it.

Solutions

1. Update yt-dlp to the latest version so current Vimeo formats are extracted.
2. Verify the Vimeo URL is public and playable in a browser.
3. Check the MediaInfo/available_qualities returned by get_media_info before calling download.
4. For private videos, supply credentials/cookies supported by yt-dlp.
5. Add a clearer upstream error if yt-dlp returns formats that fail quality parsing.

Example fix

// before
let first = info.available_qualities.first().ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("No quality available"))?;
// after: surface diagnostics
let first = info.available_qualities.first().ok_or_else(|| {
    anyhow!("No quality available for {} (raw formats: {:?})", url, info.raw_formats)
})?;

let info = downloader.get_media_info(&vimeo_url).await?;
if info.available_qualities.is_empty() {
    eprintln!("no downloadable qualities for {} — aborting before download()", vimeo_url);
}

fn has_downloadable_quality(info: &MediaInfo) -> bool {
    !info.available_qualities.is_empty()
}

match downloader.download(&vimeo_url, &opts).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("No quality available") => {
        // refresh yt-dlp and re-fetch info; likely outdated format extraction
        ytdlp::update().await?;
        retry_download().await
    }
    other => other,
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling download on a Vimeo URL where get_video_info succeeded but produced no formats: private/DRM-protected videos, videos restricted to authenticated or region-locked access, or yt-dlp output whose formats the quality parser could not map.

Common situations: Password-protected or private Vimeo links; Vimeo domain-restricted embeds; outdated yt-dlp that fails against current Vimeo page structure and yields no usable formats.

Understand the failure class

Background: EmptyResultError / "no results found": when an API or scraper succeeds but returns zero rows — this error's family across 9 libraries.
