That the gui (graphic user interface), not the core software just a frontend.

I suggest you try to change what bigbadaboum advised.

A simple tool that makes things easier is sbopkg : https://sbopkg.org

Hello Tonus,
i was using youtube-dl for years but suddenly for me it was not possible to use it anymore. That is why i had to change to yt-dlp.

I have isntalled the gui for youtube-dl but i get some Status Warning (and download process stops i do not know the reason), when i try to download the needed video.

i tried to look into the logs:

Code:

WARNING: Requested formats are incompatible for merge and will be merged into mkv.
ERROR: Signature extraction failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
WARNING: Requested formats are incompatible for merge and will be merged into mkv.

@bigbadaboum
very helpful and kind of you, i was trying all of that but unfortunately getting again some missing or wrongly named folders, i was trying to trace until it was possible for me but couldn't not compile it at all in the end

i even switched to 15.0 SBo (slackbuilds repository for sbo) but there yt-dlp is not available. when i tried there an older version, i got some error that encoding is missing

Code:

running build_scripts
creating build/scripts-3.9
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/tokenize.py", line 330, in find_cookie
    line_string = line.decode('utf-8')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xbc in position 14: invalid start byte

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise SyntaxError(msg)

i was thinking now of merely getting a compiled .txz. from some repository and tried, not sure if it will work

Code:

wget -c https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/releases/download/v2.4.0/Open-Video-Downloader-2.4.0.AppImage
chmod +x  Open-Video-Downloader-2.4.0.AppImage
./Open-Video-Downloader-2.4.0.AppImage

Is it working?

Got the very same error when trying the AppImage version that rizitis suggested (2.4.0). However, the latest version (2.5.4) started just fine (even if there were some ENOENT error messages in the terminal window).

When trying to download I got the message

Code:

ERROR: Postprocessing: module mutagen was not found. Please install using `python -m pip install mutagen

Built and installed mutagen (SBo script https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...pment/mutagen/) and downloading worked perfectly (Please note that mutagen has two dependencies which in turn have a number of dependencies).

Latest AppImage: https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier...2.5.4.AppImage

NB: you might run into other dependency issues running Slackware-14.2. I strongly recommend upgrading to 15.0, especially since EOL for 14.2 is round the corner.

bigbadaboum · 10-15-2023, 12:06 PM

Hello glupa4e,

maybe an update broke something on your system, can you recompile your yt-dlp-2023.02.17 ?

nb:it's sad that we can no longer have access to x265 video since the switch to android api inside yt-dlp, it was a good way to promote the Alliance for Open Media.

business_kid · 10-16-2023, 05:04 AM

With all these protracted issues, you would probably be much better off uninstalling yt-dlp and reinstalling it. Pip3 installs automagically, if you clean up correctly.

I'm somehow suspicious that every way you try to build or install pukes, and you may have problems with your toolchain.

hello, i installed yt-dlp-2023.02.17 and also have mutagen and all needed dependencies as far as i know. even with version https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier...2.5.4.AppImage i get error

Code:

/tmp/.mount_Open-VGvJlHg/open-video-downloader.bin: symbol lookup error: /tmp/.mount_Open-VGvJlHg/open-video-downloader.bin: undefined symbol: gbm_bo_get_modifier

Tonus · 10-22-2023, 03:23 PM

Could you fire up a virtual machine of a clean and up-to-date 14.2 ?
I guess it would be easier to get the dependencies installed and the package built.
You could then install it on your actual system.

And what you would have learnt would be useful forever

business_kid · 10-23-2023, 05:23 AM

I solved the problem for myself (in 15.0), because my git binary was out of date and I had some ancient pip install.

Code:

rm /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
pip3 uninstall yt-dlp
pip3 install yt-dlp

The install drops a script in /usr/bin

Code:

dec@Ebony:~$yt-dlp --version
2023.10.13

Regnad Kcin · 10-24-2023, 07:10 PM

Ya dont need a SlackBuild to install and maintain yt-dlp!

Just install it from the command line using the simple instructions.
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/Installation

Of course you don't need candyass "sudo" either or a note from your mom to
use su - .

You may find it quits working from time to time and must be
reinstalled, also easy enough, no need to futz around with slackbuilds.

Not that I dont like or appreciate Slackbuilds.
But for simple stuff they can be a smokescreen and an
unnecessary level of complexity.

thanks, after fighting so long , perhaps now i have a workaround by running

Code:

/usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

Regnad Kcin · 10-31-2023, 09:40 PM

it should be in the path and work like this.

/usr/local/bin should be in the $PATH.

On Slackware-14.2, the $PATH should be set in /etc/profile
