I'm trying to use youtube-dl on a Macbook (using Mojave). It used to work flawlessly but recently I am seeing the following error:



youtube-dl -x --audio-format mp3 https://youtu.be/somevidR4hhU
[youtube] somevidR4hhU: Downloading webpage
[youtube] somevidR4hhU: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] somevidR4hhU: Downloading js player vflWnjS_n
[download] Destination: somevidR4hhU.webm
[download] 100% of 4.60MiB in 00:04
[ffmpeg] Destination: somevidR4hhU.mp3
ERROR: audio conversion failed: Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame'


I've tried to reinstall youtube-dl and lame with:



brew reinstall youtube-dl lame


but it makes no difference. Any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks in advance!
