yt-dlp Updating
 
It says to use yt-dlp -U. I tried
Code:
bash-5.1$ sudo yt-dlp -U

Latest version: 2023.03.04, Current version: 2022.05.18

I put yt-dlp in my homedir and tried there. I tried as user root. Same error. Anybody got a quick fix? On Slackware64-15.0 here.

I'd assume the the -U option is for when you got it from the website. Mine came from my distro and it's the current 2023.03.04. Where did yours come from? Perhaps the question should have been put in the Slackware area.

Go get the latest manually. Is that what you did?
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

Platform-independent zipimport binary. Needs Python (recommended for Linux/BSD)
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/rel...ownload/yt-dlp

Linux standalone x64 binary
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/rel...d/yt-dlp_linux

Linux standalone armv7l (32-bit) binary
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/rel...p_linux_armv7l

Linux standalone aarch64 (64-bit) binary
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/rel..._linux_aarch64

yt-dlp does not have too many depends. Get the latest, and use it. I've never tried to let yt-dlp update itself. I don't want python anything installing stuff outside of the package manager.

Thanks, teckk. That sorted it. I wonder why the update didn't work?
