What happens when you run Tartube from a terminal window?

The usual reason for the the "download did not start" error is that Tartube can't find youtube-dl or yt-dlp. Try this in the first instance:

Tartube FAQ

Tried to modify Tartube's settings as per instructions with no success, do I need to ask the authors for help?

[axcore]

Sorry. I amended my initial reply to remove the link to the FAQ, which is not relevant for MS Windows users, but apparently the edit didn't get saved.

The edit said: please try re-installing youtube-dl or yt-dlp first.

Failing that, can you please open the window Edit > System preferences, then show me a screenshot (or describe) the tabs Downloaders > Forks and Downloaders > File paths

I would love to re-install them! How do I do that? I do not actually recall ever installing them to begin-with, just downloaded tartube

Open Tartube

Left click on the "Enter URLs below" box

Paste "https://youtu.be/uPIR_K61Stc"

Click "Add URLs"

Click Download all

Download starts but then fails, maybe there is some kind of order-of-operations glitch in the GUI, and that the control for enabling the '-x' setting became glitched.

Operations > Update youtube-dl or Operations > Update yt-dlp

When you first run Tartube, you get prompted to install one of them, which is probably what you did

Download options can be specified in any order, except that if you specify the same option multiple times (-f avi -f mp4 or something like that), the last one is used.

I just caught up with the reddit thread. For your -x problem, I can't guess what the cause is, but I can suggest a fix.

If you're downloading from the Videos tab, do this: Edit > General download options, then click the Completely reset all download options... button

If you're downloading from the Classic mode tab, in that tab click the menu button in the top-right corner, then select Edit download options, then click the Completely reset all download options... button

In either case, you can now select your preferred media formats, hoping that the problem has gone away.

Not only do I get error with "download in this format" but now also attempting "Convert to this format using FFMPEG" yields this error https://puu.sh/Iii2J/1537c706fd.png

I am back at my desk, but the puu.sh links are invalid. I will look into it, if you can replace them.
