[Ubuntu] Program fails because it did not set execute permissions #327

Open fixups opened 2 years ago

fixups commented 2 years ago

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04, and I'm using the AppImage version.

Open Video Downloader installs several programs when you first start it, but it fails to set execute permissions for these programs, resulting in the inability to download anything.

It's very easy to fix. Just set execute permissions for these files: ~/.youtube-dl-gui/ffmpeg ~/.youtube-dl-gui/ffprobe ~/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix

("~" means "your home directory")

Needless to say, Open Video Downloader should set these permissions after installing these files.
