yt-dlp VS youtube-dl-gui

On Win10, I download the .exe from the latest release here: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.03.03.19419

For those who still have this issue and are on Windows and need a fix right now just go and download the "yt-dlp.exe" from here: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.03.01.19419

The issue is already fixed in the code so if you compile from the code your issue will be fixed. Personally though I just downloaded the daily build and that seemed to fix the issue https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp

Temporarily, you could also install the unofficial daily build of yt-dlp from here.

Get the latest unofficial build from here. 🙂

It seems Youtube did change something internally so the old yt-dlp exe file (which the Cinema mode uses) no longer works. Found a fix: Go here to download the latest yt-dlp exe file: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.02.17.334. Then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Beat Saber\Libs on your PC and replace the old yt-dlp.exe file with the new one you just downloaded. And it should fix Cinema mod. I just tried and it works for me now!

So, if you want this fix "as an .exe", just download the unofficial daily build from here, or compile yourself.

Have you tried the latest daily release? https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases I had problems with throttling too, but switching to the daily release fixed it for me, you get the most recent fixes, but it might be not as stable, the original yt-dlp was updated a month ago

Until the next update of yt-dlp, you could try with the unofficial daily build, made by @Lesmiscore: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp.

Test yt-dlg using Wayland and check if fix the issue#137

If you prefer a GUI (Graphical User Interface), choose one from the youtube-dl subreddit's Wiki. For Windows yt-dlg is a good one. It uses yt-dlp under the hood.

download the latest version of yt-dlg (an updated fork): https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui/releases

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp (or use https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui if you want a GUI)

Edit: here’s a link to the GitHub for the updated version - https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui

If this program is the one they're talking about, which I think it is, then no. Installing through python is an option, but you can also download the setup.exe from the releases page which will install just like any other exe. It's even available through the Windows Store if that's your thing.

Second, use https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp (or https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui if you want a GUI), then download the latest n6.0 (non-shared) zip for your platform (e.g. win64) from https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds and extract the 3 executables from the bin folder to the same folder as your yt-dlp executable.
