This error indicates the model file model.bin is missing or incomplete in the directory models/models--mobiuslabsgmbh--faster-whisper-large-v3-turbo. This usually happens when the model download was interrupted or blocked by network issues.

Solutions:

  1. Check the model folder – Navigate to C:/Users/User/Downloads/win-pyvideotrans-v3.99-0508/models/models--mobiuslabsgmbh--faster-whisper-large-v3-turbo and verify that model.bin (a large file, several GB) actually exists. If not, delete the entire folder and let the software re-download it.
  2. Enable a network proxy – If you are in a region where HuggingFace is blocked, configure a proxy in the main interface under "Network proxy address" (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:10808). Then restart the task to trigger a fresh download.
  3. Manually download the model – Download the model from a mirror or HuggingFace directly, and place it in the correct folder structure. The required files are: model.bin, config.json, tokenizer.json, vocabulary.json, etc. For detailed instructions, see the documentation link below.
