Error while decoding

so im facing issue during my detection
error while decoding MB 34 20, bytestream -20
what should i do to fix this issue
im also using yolo11

Hi there! :wave:

The error you’re encountering, “error while decoding MB 34 20, bytestream -20,” typically indicates an issue with the input video or image decoding process. Here are some steps to help you address this:

  1. Check the Input File: Verify that the video or image you’re using is not corrupted. Try opening it with a media player or image viewer to confirm it works correctly.

  2. Ensure Proper Codec Installation: If you’re working with videos, ensure the required codecs are installed on your system. For example, install ffmpeg as it is widely used for video processing:

    pip install imageio[ffmpeg]
    
  3. Reduce Video Resolution: If the video resolution is very high, decoding issues may occur. Try reducing the resolution of the video using a tool like ffmpeg:

    ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=1280:720 output.mp4
    
  4. Validate Code & Dependencies: Ensure your code and the YOLO11 model are correctly configured. Double-check the video source path and size requirements for YOLO11. Here’s an example snippet:

    from ultralytics import YOLO
    
    # Load YOLO11 model
    model = YOLO("yolo11n.pt")
    
    # Run inference on video
    results = model.predict(source="path/to/video.mp4")
    
  5. Update to the Latest Version: Ensure you’re using the latest versions of the Ultralytics package and dependencies. Run:

    pip install --upgrade ultralytics
    
  6. Test with Another Input: If the issue persists, test with another video or image to rule out input-specific problems.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, feel free to provide additional details (e.g., the input file type, your system setup, or the full error trace). For more guidance, check out our common issues guide or post on our GitHub Issues page.

Hope this helps, and happy detecting! :rocket:
