No URL available

Error message

No URL available

What it means

Douyin `download` picks the first entry of `available_qualities` as the canonical URL; if the list is empty or the URL is empty it aborts. It means the MediaInfo has no usable download URL even though download was invoked.

Solutions

1. Re-run get_media_info to obtain fresh MediaInfo with populated URLs before downloading.
2. Check yt-dlp output for the Douyin link to confirm the platform actually exposes a direct media URL.
3. Validate in get_media_info that at least one non-empty URL exists and fail there with a clearer message.
4. Refresh cookies/auth for Douyin if extraction returns metadata but no media URLs.

Example fix

// before
let canonical = info.available_qualities.first().map(|q| q.url.as_str()).unwrap_or("");
if canonical.is_empty() { return Err(anyhow!("No URL available")); }
// after
let canonical = info
    .available_qualities
    .iter()
    .map(|q| q.url.as_str())
    .find(|u| !u.is_empty())
    .ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("No URL available for Douyin media '{}' (qualities empty)", info.title))?;

// Rust, before calling download
if info.available_qualities.iter().all(|q| q.url.is_empty()) {
    return Err(anyhow!("Douyin MediaInfo has no usable URL; re-run get_media_info"));
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `download` with MediaInfo whose `available_qualities.first()` is None or whose first quality URL is an empty string.

Common situations: get_media_info partially failed (found title/qualities but no URL), a Douyin page whose video requires a refreshed resolution, or stale cached MediaInfo passed to a later download step.
