I'm not 100% sure this will help you, but I was able to fix a "no token" issue with my installation by installing YouTube-dl using pip. Apparently, mps-youtube need the python version of youtube-dl, amd it specifically looks for it in the location that pip puts it in. I figured this out by searching this git, so if you need a better explanation, search this page more and you'll see that. If that isn't the issue, then I don't know.

Hi, I have this same issue - I have used pip to install youtube-dl version 2019.05.20, however mpsyt -v shows that the version is 2019.04.01

How can I make mpsyt look in the right location for youtube-dl?

Hi, I don't know if your issue still exists - I figured out a way how it works for me:

I had youtube-dl installed as well, but the python module wasn't the newest one, I upgraded it using pip:

sudo pip3 install -U youtube_dl hope it helps!
