audioread.NoBackendError when looping folder

[samisherif95]

So i have been trying to loop through a folder containing MP3 files and im using librosa in this loop to extract specific features from each mp3 file but each time i try to do that after looping through a few songs i get this error :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/samisherif/PycharmProjects/Test2/yarab.py", line 40, in <module> y, sr = librosa.load(songname, duration=15) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/librosa/core/audio.py", line 119, in load with audioread.audio_open(os.path.realpath(path)) as input_file: File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/audioread/__init__.py", line 116, in audio_open raise NoBackendError() audioread.NoBackendError

please i need help resolving this issue as soon as possible have been stuck on it for a while, Also im using MacOS if that makes a difference. Im also using Pycharm.

The first thing I might try is checking whether this happens on a specific file. It might not be supported by any of the backends you have.

@sampsyo i tried just placing just one item in the folder still didnt work .............. i have a feeling its the looping that causes the problem. any other ideas ? Thank you for your time

No, sorry! To get help from other people, it's super-duper important to be able to narrow down the problem to something that can be reliably reproduced on someone else's machine. Good luck!

I encountered the same propblem in windows 10 ,first I install ffmpeg from pip，and then still get the same problem,but worked in linux. Then I downloan ffmpeg from this webside https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ unzip and add path to environment. run 'ffmpeg -version' in cmd. If it is ok. The problem will be solved
