Hi,

I have Windows 10 Home 64 bit, and Powershell (version 5.1.19041.1) closes before anything happens. I have done the following:

  1. Installed Python for Windows 10 Home - python-3.11.5-amd64.exe.
  2. Followed all steps in the README.md, including installing youtube-dl and ffmpeg as an administrator with PowerShell. No errors occurred during installs.
  3. I associated "RegFileGenerator.py" manually with "C:\Users\Chill456\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe"
  4. Rebooted, in case the PY association needed that to happen.
  5. Copied the link to a 1080p video of my own on YouTube.
  6. Right clicked on the folder to receive the download (C:\TEMP\YTDL), and selected "yt-dlt", then "Download video H.264", and "1080p".
  7. Powershell appears for half a second, and then closes.
  8. I tried other resolutions, and the other video option DNxHR 25FPS. Same result.

Best Regards,
Chill456

Thanks very much for your reply. - I find that "yt_dlp.exe" (without ytdl-explorer) is easier for me to operate. It works well, so I'm closing this issue.
