Windows 10 - Error! Unhandled error (execa) #414

Open lknlnx opened 1 year ago

lknlnx commented 1 year ago

The application gives Error! Unhandled error (execa).

I found missing yt-dlp.exe in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\youtube-dl-gui\resources\app.asar.unpacked\binaries

Downloaded *.exe in this directory. The program works 1 2

Same error message, solved with the proposed workaround of manually download and copy the file. Many thanks @lknlnx

On binaries v2.3.0 I found youtube-dl.exe, I had to rename it to yt-dlp.exe, and copy to C:\Users\AppData\Local\Programs\youtube-dl-gui\resources\app.asar.unpacked\binaries. Then It worked.

Same problem here, copied the yt-dlp.exe file and it works fine.
