No URL available

Error message

No URL available

What it means

api_engine_download() (the modern bilibili API path) takes the first URL from info.available_qualities, defaulting to "" when absent, and errors immediately if it is empty. Like the legacy path, this signals that parsing produced no usable stream URL, so the download engine cannot be invoked.

Solutions

1. Configure a bilibili account (active_account_slug) if the content requires login, and retry.
2. Confirm the video URL is valid and publicly viewable in a browser first.
3. Log/inspect the parsed MediaInfo and the parser step to find why no qualities were extracted.

Example fix

// before
let url = info.available_qualities.first().map(|q| q.url.as_str()).unwrap_or("");
if url.is_empty() { return Err(anyhow!("No URL available")); }
// after
let url = info.available_qualities.first().map(|q| q.url.as_str())
    .filter(|u| !u.is_empty())
    .with_context(|| format!("no stream URL extracted for {} (may require login or be region-locked)", info.source_url))?;

if !info.available_qualities.iter().any(|q| !q.url.is_empty()) { return Err(anyhow!("nothing to download: no stream URL extracted")); }
api_engine_download(info, opts, progress).await?;

fn downloadable(info: &MediaInfo) -> bool { info.available_qualities.iter().any(|q| !q.url.is_empty()) }

When it happens

Trigger: download() -> api_engine_download() with a MediaInfo whose available_qualities is empty or whose first entry has an empty url field.

Common situations: Region-locked, deleted, or audit-pending bilibili content; missing login account/cookies for members-only streams; upstream bilibili API response shape changed so stream URLs were never extracted.
