Yesterday, while I tried to download videos, the log had this warnign:

This error was also present in yt-dlp cli. So, I downloaded PhantomJS. My yt-dlp.exe and ffmpeg.exe are in the same folder and I put phantomjs.exe in that exact folder. yt-dlp stopped giving that error but the log of youtube-dl-wpf was still giving that error.

For FFmpeg, yt-dlp inherited the --ffmpeg-location option from youtube-dl, which youtube-dl-wpf uses to set the FFmpeg location. For PhantomJS, however, yt-dlp does not have an equivalent option, and simply executes it with the binary name, which requires the binary to be in PATH or the working directory.

youtube-dl-wpf runs yt-dlp from the current working directory, which is usually the directory youtube-dl-wpf.exe resides in. You can move PhantomJS there, or add it to PATH.
