Got an execa error (I have yt-dlp installed in the correct location(s), it isn't the issue here).

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Just downloaded latest version. Please help me here, I can't find an answer.

Probably you have downloaded wrong file. You may download file named only "yt-dlp" from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases , size 2.57MB and rename it to "yt-dlp-unix" and paste it to that directory.
