Error: TypeError: fetch failed

- name: Install FFmpeg for audio processing tests
  uses: FedericoCarboni/setup-ffmpeg@v3.1
  with:
    ffmpeg-version: release

Likely that fetching the external build or other resource is failing.

I have the same problem on my project.

Any news about that ?
Thanks

I'm experiencing the same issue. It doesn't occur every time, but I occasionally encounter the error!

We had the same problem in our CI and after x failed runs I decided to save you guys 😄

@yimejky thank you for your efforts, looks really good.

@yimejky Thanks for the suggestion, it works perfectly.

@Garfield-fr one small improvement: lower the timeout and increase the number of retries. You will spam the repository a little more, but it will be more bulletproof. I updated the original script to our current form.

I need to correct the action, but for now I have this message:
