No URL available

Error message

No URL available

What it means

Thrown in DirectFileDownloader::download when no usable URL can be derived: either available_qualities is empty, or the first entry's URL is an empty string (the .filter(|u| !u.is_empty()) drops it). The downloader has nothing to fetch.

Solutions

1. Ensure available_qualities contains an entry with a non-empty url before calling download().
2. Re-run the page scrape / get_media_info to recover the direct URL.
3. Check the source URL actually points to a downloadable file (not an HTML page).
4. Validate MediaInfo in the caller and show a user-facing 'no downloadable URL' message.

Example fix

// before
let info = MediaInfo { available_qualities: vec![VideoQuality { url: String::new(), .. }], .. };
downloader.download(&info, &opts, tx).await?;
// after
if info.available_qualities.first().map_or(true, |q| q.url.is_empty()) {
    return Err(anyhow!("refusing to download: no direct file URL resolved"));
}

let has_url = info.available_qualities.first().map_or(false, |q| !q.url.is_empty());
if !has_url {
    return Err(anyhow!("no direct file URL; re-scrape the source page"));
}

fn has_direct_url(info: &MediaInfo) -> bool {
    info.available_qualities.first().map_or(false, |q| !q.url.is_empty())
}

match downloader.download(&info, &opts, tx).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string() == "No URL available" => {
        eprintln!("source page exposed no direct file URL; check the link");
    }
    other => other,
}

When it happens

Trigger: download() called with a MediaInfo whose available_qualities is empty, or whose first quality URL is "" (e.g. metadata was parsed from a page with no direct file link).

Common situations: Direct-file entries built from pages that failed to expose a media URL, partially populated MediaInfo structs, or callers stripping qualities before handing them to the downloader.
