I found that many users were confused. After spending some time debugging, I decided to write a simple feasible process.

For Portable version with Win

  1. Download latest youtube-dl-gui Portable version
  2. Download latest yt-dlp.exe
  3. Download latest ffmpeg,ffplay,ffprobe
  4. Put all exe files into renamed folder"Youtube-dlp"
  5. Open once Open-Video-Downloader-x.x.0-portable.exe, and close it. Then it will auto create "open-video-downloader" folder.
  6. Move yt-dlp.exe，ffmpeg,ffplay,ffprobe into "open-video-downloader" folder.
  7. Open Open-Video-Downloader-x.x.0-portable.exe.
  8. Past youtube playlist url and download it.

without binary and unhandled error. Delete "Download" folder with "ffmpeg.exe" file ,the size is 0 KB.
