You don't really need a package for this. The download instructions from its homepage should work just fine:
http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html

Code: Select all

sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

Hello gapan,

I don't think so. Because:

Code: Select all

ERROR: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type  youtube-dl -U  to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

Oh, so I guess newer versions of youtube-dl cannot be used 14.2 anymore. It's probably that the python in 14.2 is just too old. There's nothing you can do about it.

Hi guys,

My question was simple.
What do you make of it? Pure chaos!
Should I repeat the question or what can I do now?

[gapan]

You already got a simple answer. Read my previous post.

try this

Code: Select all

sudo curl -L https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -o /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

Code: Select all

sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp 

Edit: The file downloaded from https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl is not working. Returns an error
but the yt-dlp file is working fine in smtube and in smplayer and in the terminal typing: yt-dlp URL
It is working with python3-3-9.10 and with pyton3-3.9.16. The problem is not the python version.
On smplayer under network in youtube support application choose yt-dlp. Then from smtube clicking on a link the smplayer is running to play the video.

smtube, smplayer, mpv packages working with the yt-dlp for salix-15.0
smtube includes the yt-dlp.

I have upgraded yt-dlp recently, works well with mpv 0.35.0 on Slint-15.0, for what it's worth.
