If you're on windows you can download youtube-dl.exe
and place it in %AppData%\youtube-dlg
Does not work for me, still 403

If you're on windows you can download
youtube-dl.exe
and place it in%AppData%\youtube-dlg
The equivalent path for linux would be ~/.config/youtube-dlg/
I simply overwrote it using the latest version installed from pip
:
cat ~/.local/bin/youtube-dl > .config/youtube-dlg/youtube-dl

I have the windows exe version so I tried to replace the .exe in the specified directory, but it doesn't appear to have done anything for me either. Do I need to update something else?
@RedBreloom Edited my comment, it shouldn't have .exe
@RedBreloom Edited my comment, it shouldn't have
.exe
I am using the windows executable version of this app so I am not sure how to access the code directly and trying to replace the youtube-dl.exe in appdata it doesn't seem to fix this issue. I also realized that this error post is not the same as the one i have. But another person who had the same problem as I was directed to this post so I figured i'd ask here as well. i'm not really sure what to do otherwise.
for reference
@RedBreloom make sure youtube-dl isn't in your path somewhere else already, if all else fails remove it all and try again. You should probably make another issue if this persists.
What you need on Windows is this library: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=5555 This is what makes it work on a freshly installed Windows 10.
All of the above commentary is not necessary since the library is back on Github despite interventions from Google.

Yep this is what I do on all systems of friends where I install youtube-dl-gui. I always had to search inside the closed Issues for the link.
Just tested on a freshly installed system. It works as usual. Too bad this is not more visible.
As a note: I already had a more recent version of that redis installed on my computer. So I don't think that mattered for my case.. It doesn't seem like this program is being maintained anymore anyway, so I've been using tartube for now.

When you go to youtube-dlg's settings and select "update", it says "downloading latest youtube-dl. please wait...", but then after a few seconds it says "youtube-dl download failed [http error 403: forbidden]". This issue never used to happen before, and it always used to just download the update successfully and say "downloading latest youtube-dl. please wait...", and then after a few seconds say something like "youtube-dl downloaded successfully." without any issues. Nothing has changed with the program installation or settings. Is there a way to fix that? Thanks.
