In
MX Linux has outdated
yt-dlp, which does not work in
YouTube anymore. Would it possible to get a fresh version from
yt-dlp ?
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/Installation
Also
ibam would be good for conky.

That one is also way out of date.
The latest version (2025.02.19 as of today) is in Debian Backports repo. It usually gets updated there a few days after a new release.

So you can just install it with Package Installer, right?

Probably yes. You should be able to go to the MXPI Backports tab and check install or upgrade. I don't think yt-dlp is any different than most other backports packages. I never had a problem with it.

I just did the upgrade via Debian Backports in MXPI. No dramas. The video downloaded from YouTube opened and played fine.

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 How is that way out of date?

Video services like Youtube try to actively stop tools like this from working, so it breaks often. (Sometimes way more often than 58 days in between
)
