Additional context
I know there's a solution in the original YT-DLP post where you replace some coding with "@"
but i do now know how to do that in this Alt version.
and the original YT-DLP does launch on my computer, hence why I went with this program originally
Confirming this bug, it occurs on every version now. Even on 2.4.8. by "cannot remember his name". youtube-dl -U confirms latest version.
You can get around the issue by getting the most recent yt-dlp version https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp once you have found the binary file (yt-dlp.exe on windows) from whatever method of install you use and paste it into C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Programs\youtube-dl-gui\resources\app.asar.unpacked\binaries or wherever your youtube-dl-gui binaries live it should solve the problem.
I see that yt-dlp released a fixed version yesterday. When I was downloading it yesterday, it has not yet been released. Now it is working.
Updating yt-dlp fixed it, you can use the update script that I made here
https://github.com/MuhannadYT/yt-dlp-installer-ovd/releases/tag/v1.0.0
(all the updater does is del yt-dlp, install the latest version and place it in the directory of OVD)
At this point everyone should switch to fixed and regularly updated version which downloads yt-dlp automatically
(https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui)
If you are having this issue on linux, download the latest yt-dlp version and replacing the version in $HOME/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix with the newer version. You can run $HOME/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix --version before and after to make sure it worked
