ill take a look at this soon. Apologies for the delay

[guerda]

It looks like this is caused by the entry point lyd-unmapped=lidarr_youtube_downloader.lyd-unmapped:app which has a dash and is therefore not compatible to pip. What is this entry point for?

[guerda]

Removing the entrypoint from setup.py worked for me just fine.
