While trying to download any video it shows an error message like this. This message was displayed "Please restart the app and disable antivirus". I even tried after disabling antivirus but the issue is not resolved.

I had same problem when I used the portable version. You must download this binary and put it to the "open-video-downloader" folder. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp.exe

I added that exe to the folder and the error remains.. do we need to do anything with it prior?

Download the portable version from https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/releases and once you open it, it'll create a folder called open-video-downloader, copy yt-dlp there

I had same problem with installed version (not portable). In this case you need to put this exe file: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp.exe to this folder: %localappdata%\Programs\youtube-dl-gui\resources\app.asar.unpacked\binaries

It worked for me. Thanks!

You can also use this updater to keep yt-dlp.exe up to date. Just unpack it to any folder on your PC and run it from there.
