For me this worked #354

I'm sorry but this doesn't help or apply to Linux users. only Mac and Windows user specifically.

Had this exact same error on manjaro, the fix for me was copying over a system binary of yt-dlp like so

sudo pacman -S yt-dlp

cp /bin/yt-dlp ~/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix

its a total stopgap but it works now at least.

On Windows I fixed this, Downloading "youtube-dl.exe" from original repository, renaming to "yt-dlp.exe" and place in "open-video-downloader" folder. (I used portable version).

I just used powershell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp.exe -OutFile %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\youtube-dl-gui\resources\app.asar.unpacked\binaries\yt-dlp.exe" to download it and put it in the right folder on windows. The same on linux, just donwload yt-dlp and put it in the binairies fodler.

But has it been fixed for Linux?

looks, there are a bunch of duplicates for this issue, which all have same or similar workaround - just depending on operating system: https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/387 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/389 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/390 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/392 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/413 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/414 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/418 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/431

would be great to clean up the issue list! please close the listed issues above

i fear, that this project might got abandoned by the author, see https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/407 are there other persons with rights to close issues - except the individual issue submitters?

Looks, the improved version 2.4.3 from https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui/releases does fix the issue. Tested on Windows and WSL. Thanks to @StefanLobbenmeier
