If you don't have specific requirements by all means do try Ultimately it is up to you to pick and choose the application you like the most. There are changes in the default behavior, possibly making it a worse fit. Some people are also constrained by the additional requirements that |
(Overlapped with above) Comparing the two programs:
Or you can use the yt-dl git master by installing it with pip from your Python installation (probably 2.7 is the minimum version for which this works, and you need a pip version that is new enough to install from GitHub but old enough to run in 2.7). Or you can find an unofficial nightly build in a fork of yt-dl, or make your own fork and build the program. Or you can wait for an official release with the latest changes. If you are still using yt-dl 2021.12.17, you have more issues than just the |
0_0 oh no. That doesn't bode well. |
Just to look at some fixes and enhancements for the YT extractor:
On the other hand the The age-gate fix also adds (or restores) extraction of several unrelated metadata items (view/like count, track/album/etc). |

Lots of interesting developments happening :0 Thanks for keeping me posted guys; really appreciate it :) |
Closing this thread and referring to #31530 for further developments. Thanks for your insight on this issue, guys! :) |
An explanation would have been nice too, as youtube-dl 2021.12.17 is literally the current stable release. |
This is an aside, but, wow, is that ever true! I've been using 2021.12.17 and my YouTube download speeds have been rate-limited to like ~60kB/s, and I assumed that was a server-side limitation that I couldn't do anything about -- but nope, after upgrading to the master branch, downloads are lightning fast. I am kind of curious what is standing in the way of promoting the version on the master branch to an official release. |

Question
Yo, I tried downloading a video today and noticed everything's busted. I have the same issues as threads #31534, #31533, #31532, #31531 & #31530 , which leads me to ask this; should I download yt-dlp due to the change of management requesting it (refer to #30568 as well as here in #31530), or will there be an internal patch to vanilla youtube-dl? Just asking this for anyone else who doesn't frequent this page, wondering why everything broke out of the blue.
