What is the expected behaviour ?
Should download the video in specified format
What happens instead ?
Nothing downloads. I have seen this error on the official yt-dlg git hub and they fixed it in a release but I'm not sure how to get the new version of it and connect it to this GUI. The issue comes from the the user id can now have an @ symbol. I think the issue is fixed but I updated the GUI to the lastest version and looks like the user id issue is still there.
Update to the latest yt-dlp CLI Backend. See yt-dlg/yt-dlg#11 (comment)
I am on yt-dlg 1.8.4 and i clicked update, but it still shows up this error and I cannot download.
looks like it works when I changed the CLI backend from youtube-dlp.exe to yt-dlp.exe
If the issue is complete as fixed, please feel free to close it.
Ah ok, I think the issue is resolved now. Sorry about that I think I just had to play around with the settings with the new update. Thanks for the help.
Getting this issue on the most recent release now
@VaelophisNyx can share the URL , steps or logs the issue you having?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBJA9lPi4gs URL in question
steps are just add, set to convert to mp3, download
log is just the exact same error in the original issue post
I think it may be that this video is trying to download as a WebM and convert from that
@VaelophisNyx for Post-Processing Video or Audio you need FFmpeg: https://yt-dlg.github.io/yt-dlg/Install-FFmpeg-on-Windows.html
I should state it's worked fine up to today, I have FFmpeg. It just died when I tried it today
