Hi, I am trying to transcribe a video using the OpenAI transcribe node. The video is coming from an HTTP request. In the transcribe node, I get an error that says audio cannot be decoded. I have attached the images. Looking forward to your help. Thanks
Hey @Michael_Adekoya You can’t use this node with video. You would have to extract the audio first to be able to transcribe it
Thanks. Can you put me through how to do this. I’d really appreciate it
Are you running your n8n instance in the cloud or self-hosted ?
In the n8n cloud
You could use a paid API MP4 to MP3 API | A High-Performance MP4 to MP3 Converter API
If you have your own server running FFmpeg, this could be an option as well (would be possible if you would self-host) but could be deployed as standalone.
Also check out this thread Optimizing Content Automation: Best Way to Extract and Process Transcriptions in N8N? - #3 by Giulia_Patricio where I suggested some options with Gemini but if you have a big video I don’t have a good plugin solution worked out yet.
Thanks. I’ll try these options. I’m not processing much video.
