check for youtube-dl in other locations + suggestions #14

I just installed youtube-dl in a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 (x64) install, and youtubuddy had trouble installing pip, so it failed to install youtube-dl. my suggestion: install youtube-dl from apt if pip fails. now youtubuddy searched for youtube-dl in /usr/local/bin but youtube-dl from apt was in /usr/bin, so I made a link to it in /usr/local/bin/ and that messed up youtube-dl. so I installed it from snap and changed the line in gui where it checks for youtube-dl to snap/bin/youtube-dl. my 2nd suggestion: check for youtube-dl in ~/snap/bin/youtube-dl and /usr/bin/youtube-dl as well as where it already checks (/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl).

trouble installing pip because it has a different package name that I haven't found yet.

Botspot commented 3 years ago

The apt repo's version of youtube-dl is slower and out of date.

Remember the infinite search issue? That was recently fixed and available on pip. The APT version is ancient.

then compile it from source, also its newer in the ubuntu repos and works well with youtubuddy (didn't check infinite search issue with it though).
