The error is caused by a missing or corrupted model.bin file inside the model directory /Users/zhangzhaoyang/pyvideotrans/models/models--mobiuslabsgmbh--faster-whisper-large-v3-turbo. The model download was incomplete or the file was deleted.

Steps to fix:

  1. Delete the incomplete model folder
    Run the following command in your terminal:

    rm -rf /Users/zhangzhaoyang/pyvideotrans/models/models--mobiuslabsgmbh--faster-whisper-large-v3-turbo
  2. Restart pyVideoTrans
    Launch the software again and re-select the large-v3-turbo model. The software will automatically download the full model from Hugging Face. Ensure you have a stable internet connection.
  3. If automatic download fails (e.g., network issues), manually download the model:

    China mirror alternative:
    Use https://modelscope.cn/models/himyworld/fasterwhisper/files (search for large-v3-turbo).
