Hello, Since few weeks I can't download from youtube. I sent you a bug report using thé buttons on the app. I think it is something dealing with yt-dl. I tried to reinstall it and when i used it I discover that m'y MacOS use only Python3 and it's not possible to use or create a link /usr/local/bon/python Then i managed to change " python" to "Python3" on youtube-dl and now yt-dl works correctly. I think you need to manage this point on your app, checking environment on installing and change the first Line on yt-dl in case python or Python3 Have a nice day.

Hey :) can you try with my fork https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui? Which version of macOS and of open video downloaded are you using?

It sounds to me that you are using 2.3.1 on a new macOS - macOS no longer ships python 2 and open video downloaded 2.3.1 still ships with YouTube-dl, which depends on python2

the newer release on my fork uses yt-dlp, and uses the standalone builds which should no longer depend on the python installed

@ddcado did that end up working for you?
