qytdl fails to download

[jvaccaro]

Environment:

• Equipment: Dell AIO using Xeon CPU E3-1245@3.7Ghz w 8 cores 64GB of memory with 2 SATA 1TB drives AMD® Radeon (tm) pro wx series / Mesa Intel® HD Graphics P630 Three monitors: 2560x1440 (16:9), 1920 x 1080 (16:9) and 2560x1440 (16:9)
• Ubuntu 20.04.2LTS 64-bit
• Python 3 - version 3.8.10
• PyQt5 (python-pyqt5) for Python 3 - version 5.14.1
• youtube-dl - version 2021.06.06

When qytdl launches the gui comes up and lets me add Youtube "Sharing" URLs to download. Once I click the ">" button to start the downloads all I get is a spinning icon with no indication that the downloads are running. My bandwidth monitor does not show the expected spike in inbound traffic from running downloads.

I have tested these same URLs using just youtube-dl same version as above and they all work correctly.

Please advise any troubleshooting suggestions.

Thank you!

Hmm, strange.

Well, I went ahead and added a rudimentary debug output mode, so try downloading the newest version and running it with the -d argument from the terminal. After that, paste the output here if you could.
