@wvxwxvw

What is the issue?

wvxwxvw commented 3 years ago

In that

Switched to using yt-dlc while the official youtube-dl repository is unavailable.

Why fork if the original update works? What is the advantage?

ps^ can release two versions of ydl-ui and ydlс-ui, if there is such a need. )

For me the original-U update doesn't work.

You can always replace the original packaged youtube-dl.exe with whatever version you want.

Is it worth using the correct DNS? https://www.dnscrypt.org/

Judging by the forums, I'm not the only one, no one wants to use forks while the original is available. Updating doesn't really work from the GUI, but it does from the command line. Why? 111

Looks like I couldn't update on my end (SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED)

youtube-dl.exe -U --no-check-certificate temporarily fixed the problem.

I was using a fork as I wasn't aware the original was still available, so I will switch back to using it.

Do you know where the source is hosted for the original? It couldn't be the original GitHub repository as that was taken down.

Edit: It might be https://gitlab.com/dstftw/youtube-dl

Sources? Isn't it at the end of the page? https://pypi.org/project/youtube_dl/#files well, gitlab too, like the author is the same
