Error using old version of yt-dlp #133

Closed JonnyThree closed 7 months ago

Hello i'm forced to use this great tool with an older custom version of yt-dlp, dated 2023.10.03. Since the version 2.10.0 of the interface, i can't download for a specific website because i got this error when i paste the link from the clipboard: [GUI] got error executing command line: yt-dlp.exe --no-warnings --compat-options manifest-filesize-approx -j -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s"

Usage: yt-dlp.exe [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]

yt-dlp.exe: error: wrong OPTS for --compat-options: manifest-filesize-approx

I think the problem is in the added command line that the version 2.9.0 doesnt have: --compat-options: manifest-filesize-approx

Do you have any suggestion to resolve this?

this is the custom build of yt-dlp that i'm using: https://github.com/bashonly/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.10.03.043124

Yes, that's the problem. The program uses that option when getting info about the URL from yt-dlp. You can still download (just start the download and it should work), but you won't be able to access the formats list, or see the media title in the queue, because the program doesn't have that data.

I might release a patch version with a fix in the next few days if I have time (the usage of --compat-options: manifest-filesize-approx should be conditioned on the presence of a yt-dlp version recent enough to support it).
