I was using the test repo version.

Yes, same here. And then the up to date one, which works.

Then just wait for the package request to go through, if you are the OP.

On my part... I'm not :), I was responding, and demonstrating how, after your:

It's only 58 days between releases. How is that way out of date?

And yep, as pointed out on the first page, the Debian Backports (accessed from the Package Installer) already contains a working, recent version (2025.02.19-1~bpo12+1).

I can do it using yt-dlp ver 2024.12.23-1~mx21+1. This is on MX-21.3.

I used 234+270, to get 1080p which is the largest one.

I used 234+270, to get 1080p which is the largest one.

That works for me also with yt-dlp 2024.12.23-1~mx23+1.

234 grabs the audio and 270 grabs the 1080 video and yt-dlp merges them together. No more using 137+140.

Just tried a 4K video and it works also with the 234 code. 625 is 2160.

yt-dlp can self-update if you use the `-U` flag

I wouldn't expect the community repo to stay on top of the update cycle for yt-dlp in their arms race against Google.

You can't if you have installed yt-dlp from the repos. There's a thread on here talking about that.

Yas, we know. Please try updating it from Backports with MXPI, and trying again...though I tried downloading from Youtube this morning with qmplay2, and it had some trouble and automatically self-updated its own internal yt-dlp copy to fix the problem, as it does.

Anyhow, I built and sent up 2025.03.27 from Sid for main today.

Working great for me.

Does it work for you @RJP?
