Your Environment

im in a persistent MXlinux usb drive. mp $ mpsyt --version WARNING:root:pafy: youtube-dl not found; falling back to internal backend. This is not as well maintained as the youtube-dl backend.

@kz6wk9 I get the same error with mpsyt version 0.2.8 installed from Debian and without youtube-dl. mps-youtube should catch the exception and suggest installing youtube-dl
