On some videos, such as this one, using the "url" command in mps-youtube results in this error:

ERROR: Signature extraction failed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/Cellar/mps-youtube/0.2.8_9/libexec/lib/python3.7/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py", line 1385, in _decrypt_signature video_id, player_url, s File "/usr/local/Cellar/mps-youtube/0.2.8_9/libexec/lib/python3.7/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py", line 1262, in _extract_signature_function raise ExtractorError('Cannot identify player %r' % player_url) youtube_dl.utils.ExtractorError: Cannot identify player 'https://www.youtube.com/s/player/4fbb4d5b/player_ias.vflset/en_US/base.js'; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug .

Other issues with the same error were generally solved by updating youtube-dl. When I check which version of youtube-dl is installed on my computer, terminal tells me that I already have the latest version:

$ youtube-dl --version 2020.03.24

But when I check the version of mpsyt, I get this:

$ mpsyt -v mpsyt version : 0.2.8 notes : released 17 February 2018 pafy version : 0.5.5 (youtube-dl backend) youtube-dl version : 2020.01.24 Python version : 3.7.7 (default, Apr 14 2020, 14:43:36) [Clang 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.17)] (etc.)

The problem seems to be that the version of youtube-dl installed on the system is not the version that mps-youtube is using. Is there a way to change which version of youtube-dl is used by mps-youtube? Or is it possible to run a command in whatever directory mps-youtube stores youtube-dl to update it? (Which command should I use?)

I am running MacOS 10.15.3 (19D76). I installed mps-youtube via the homebrew method. It is currently set up to use mpv as the media player (also installed via homebrew, per the instructions). I also set up my own YouTube API key.

I believe mps-youtube uses youtube-dl available from pip. Update your youtube-dl with pip and see if that changes the version in the mpsyt -v info

pip3 install --upgrade youtube-dl

Probably your issue is related to what I already said in this comment.

And just to be very clear, you should never have the same software installed in two different ways, eg. if you install youtube-dl with pip, do not install it again with Homebrew. Make sure to remove one of the versions first, and then you can think about updating the other one.

It is strange, because youtube-dl is dependency package. I deleted pip package and how I can link my brew youtube-dl with mps-youtube then?
