#1 DeepSeek reply at 2 hours ago

The core cause is directly shown in the error: DeepSeek's server rejected your API key with a 401 AuthenticationError. The key ****w08Q is recognized by the server as invalid. This is a credential-side issue, not a pyVideoTrans bug.

Solutions

Verify the key at the source
Log in to https://platform.deepseek.com/ and go to the API Keys page. Confirm the key exists, has not been deleted or regenerated, and is the full key (not truncated).
Re-copy the key without extra characters
When copying from the DeepSeek platform, ensure you select the entire key with no leading/trailing spaces, no line breaks, and no accidental partial-copy. Then paste it into the software:
Menu → 翻译设置 → DeepSeek → API Key.
Check your account balance
DeepSeek API requires prepaid balance. Even with a valid key, if the account balance is 0 or insufficient, requests may fail (sometimes showing authentication-style errors). Go to the platform and confirm you have topped up at least 1 CNY.
Confirm the API address is correct
In the software's DeepSeek settings, the API address should be https://api.deepseek.com/v1/ (as shown in your log). If you changed it, revert to this default.
Generate a fresh API key
If the above steps don't help, revoke the old key on the DeepSeek platform and generate a new one. Then update it in the software and try again.
Try a different translation channel as a quick fallback
If you need to proceed urgently, switch the translation channel to Google (Free) or M2M100 (Built-in) in the main interface, then go back to DeepSeek once the key issue is resolved.

Please refer to the relevant documentation:

If you have re-entered a correct key and still get the same error, please provide the latest log file from logs/ (bottom ~30 lines) for further analysis.
