The error says I should restart the app and disable antivirus, but this doesn't work. Not sure what to do here. image

Same issue here

Workaround: Fetch the yt-dlp binary manually. (This solution is likely Windows-only, but the problem may also be Windows-only :P)

  1. Download the precompiled binary yt-dlp.exe
  2. Drop it into the this folder, taking care to substitute {USER} to match your home directory: C:\Users\{USER}\AppData\Local\Programs\youtube-dl-gui\resources\app.asar.unpacked\binaries
  3. Close & Reopen OVD
