Thanks.

Oh I am sorry - I told you to open an issue in your E-Mail but I never got an E-Mail for this issue. Just started watching this repository, hopefully now I will be informed 😄 GitHub has strange defaults for forks it seems

[StefanLobbenmeier]

no such file or directory, scandir '/Volumes/Open Video Downloader 2.4.3/Open Video Downloader.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/binaries

I think this is the clue on why it did not work. Usually on macOS you are supposed to move the application to your Applications folder first, dont start it directly from the .dmg

[StefanLobbenmeier]

I was able to reproduce the issue when I do not install:

Please try dragging the app to the applications folder and starting it from there. Let me know if that fixes your issue 😄

[StefanLobbenmeier]

Actually no sorry, this issue also affects an installed version of the app. Somehow 2.4.3 no longer includes this folder, that was present in 2.4.0:

[EAGBCD]

Thank for checking back. Guess I should have reached out again myself.

Anyway.

I do install it like that, in the applications folder, and still have the issue I descriped originally.

I also recall finding some missing folder and trying to add it from the previous version. I had the same error. Unfortunately I don’t remember what folder / files it was.

Please let me know if you figure out a fix, or release a new version. Haha somehow simply downloading youtube videos has so far been a difficult and impossible journey for me,despite my initial thoughts that it would be easy.

Thank you again.

[StefanLobbenmeier]

I am currently releasing 2.4.5, which should fix the issue. I will also test on my Mac and let you know 😄

[StefanLobbenmeier]

Would you mind testing with 2.4.5 again? https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui/releases/tag/v2.4.5

It fixed the issue on my Mac

[EAGBCD]

Thank you. I will when I get home in a few hours and will report back to you here.

Just to be clear and prepared, all I need to do is download and install like a normal mac application correct? No other thing I have to download or extra steps?

Thank you once again.

[StefanLobbenmeier]

Right, just download, drag to applications and open it 😄

[EAGBCD]

I am able to download and open the application and all works on that front.

However I can not download a youtube video. I get the following error.

{ "shortMessage": "Command failed with exit code 127: /Applications/Open Video Downloader.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/binaries/yt-dlp-unix -J --flat-playlist --no-cache-dir --ignore-config --user-agent Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.121 Safari/537.36 --no-check-certificate --yes-playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4qfT2dxU6E", "command": "/Applications/Open Video Downloader.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/binaries/yt-dlp-unix -J --flat-playlist --no-cache-dir --ignore-config --user-agent Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.121 Safari/537.36 --no-check-certificate --yes-playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4qfT2dxU6E", "exitCode": 127, "stdout": "", "stderr": "env: python3: No such file or directory", "failed": true, "timedOut": false, "isCanceled": false, "killed": false }

Sorry for a bit more trouble, and thanks for your efforts.

[StefanLobbenmeier]

I see, sorry I thought that one was fixed already. For now I have a manual workaround, which is to download yt-dlp_macos_legacy from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2022.10.04, rename it to yt-dlp-unix and replace /Applications/Open Video Downloader.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/binaries/yt-dlp-unix with this file

I will have another look to automate this eventually

[StefanLobbenmeier]

The second issue you are having is a duplicate of https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/243 btw - so when I fix yours both can be closed

[StefanLobbenmeier]

I prepared this draft release that I would like you to test: https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui/releases/tag/untagged-9a8884eb61a9b3ec78e9 (2.4.7 now, 2.4.6 did not work on my machine)

Unfortunately I dont have a Mac with an older version where this issue appears, so you are going to be my guinea pig

[EAGBCD]

Thanks I appreciate it. I’ll definitely test it for you and let you know.

That link gives a 404, but maybe becuase i’m trying on my phone?

It will be a bit before I can test it, but thanks again for all the effort.

[StefanLobbenmeier]

Looks like I need to publish it, otherwise only I can see. New link: https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui/releases/tag/v2.4.7

[EAGBCD]

Yup that link works. Thanks again I’ll report back after I can test it.

[EAGBCD]

Hey it's all working well now! Thanks for all the effort and help.

[StefanLobbenmeier]

You’re very welcome 😄 thank you for your patience
