No longer working with Ubuntu 20.04

[philipzae]

With python 2 removed from Ubuntu 20.04, and most other recent distros, youtube-dl-gui can no longer be run.

[axcore]

Use this fork instead.

@axcore thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but it didn't work, meaning it couldnt download youtube videos. Also, it is more than what i need in a GUI for youtube-dl and I designed the UI for youtube-dl-gui. :D

If it doesn't work, submit an issue at the git

If you want an interface exactly like youtube-dl-gui, submit an issue for that as well

youtube-dl-gui is not being maintained, so submitting issues here is not going to help you.

Issue filed: https://github.com/axcore/tartube/issues/77

Thanks for the notice that it isn't maintained anymore. Are you interested in forking it again to just do a gkt3 upgrade to the code?

For others who stumble upon this, I was able to get it running on Ubuntu 20.04 with these steps.

1. install these packages - python-is-python2 python2 python-wxgtk3.0
2. install this package, as its not longer in the repo - https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/python-twodict
3. install the bionic version - http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu/pool/main/y/youtube-dlg/youtube-dlg_0.4-1~webupd8~bionic9_all.deb

@philipzae I looked at updating youtube-dl-gui once before, but the author has provided no clues about how it is packaged. I think it will be much simpler to implement axcore/tartube#77

I noticed it stopped working most of the time again here on w7 aswell, i get the dreaded "Error" message when trying to download both new and old clips off of YT. I have already updated manually via settings but unfortunately the issue still persists

tartube can't change the playlist start option and reload download while the download is still in progress
