I can use a shell command without issue: -

I would like to do this in a Task but when I try I get 40+ error lines like this: -


Any ideas?

Sample program attached.

 Here ye go fella.

I guess like ffmpeg tools just using gambas shell is not enough.  You HAVE to use the Process pointer and use the Output/Input flags

I found with your command just using Output and not input gave me a download and not an error
also Shell failed and i had to use Exec


Have attached your example with the GetVideo task using the process pointer and using Process_Read event

 Note:
Using..
hProc = Exec ["youtube-dl", sUrl] For Input Output As "Process"

(with Input) it gave an error but it was the same error i got when the Shell command ran in Form_Open() in FMain startup so with Input Output it worked the same.

Thanks, Bruce. This is now working as I expected.
