It's fixed in the development versions. If you installed yt-dlp using pip, update with the prerelease flag:
pip install --upgrade --pre yt-dlp. If you manually installed it, runyt-dlp --update-to nightlyor grab the latest dev from their nightly repo.Ah. I'll switch to pip then. I've been using the deb package. Thanks!
I just updated to the newest Ubuntu LTS, which puts pip into system managed mode so you can't easily install packages outside of a virtual environment anymore.
If you (or anyone who stumbles upon this comment in the future) run into this problem, the new recommended way to install yt-dlp through pip and keep it in your path and up to date is via pipx (
sudo apt install pipx). The syntax is a bit gnarly for pre-releases, so I figured I'd post an update:To install the nightly:
pipx install --pip-args '\--pre' "yt-dlp[default,curl-cffi]"To update the nightly:
pipx upgrade --pip-args '\--pre' yt-dlpI alias the update command and run it before every download session.
(You may need to delete your old yt-dlp binaries before it'll let you install the new one - use
type -a yt-dlpto find them.)
