Since yt-dlp doesn’t work anymore, is there a replacement?

    It still works for now. I’m in emergency hoard-shit-for-no-good-reason mode

    Are you having issues? Because I’ve covered almost every error in my own attempts

      I watched some old Minecraft let’s play a while back and I think it’s gone forever now. Really wish I had somehow downloaded a copy before it just bleeped out.

      I get 403 when I try to use it. I normally use ytdl-sub and youtubedl-material, but those stopped working so I tried doing it just straight from the command line, and it doesn’t work anywhere.

          Oh man, you’re my hero. All the docker containers update automatically, but I stopped trying them because of the issues and kept trying manually. It’s working now! Thank you!

            Glad you got it working! ytdl-sub is my go-to as well now that I’ve migrated it to a Linux server. A fantastic program. Be sure to enable throttle_protection though, my limits were too low and my account got blocked (using cookies because some of my subscriptions’ videos get flagged mature)

            Excellent. I just use the CLI executable directly and update it as it breaks. Wasn’t even aware there were Docker versions of it lol.

            Weird. I did a test download before replying, and it worked. Though I’m just using vanilla yt-dlp and am unfamiliar with the other two variants you listed.
