Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello all. Youtube VideoHelper in Firefox recently stopped recognizing videos for me (I'm on F96-CE4). I believe it happened after the latest Firefox update (Current Firefox: 134.0.2 64 bit, computer type in sig.)

So, any suggestions for another working Youtube Downloader?

I have tried a couple programs listed by PPM, but they didn't work -- probably outdated.

You can use this standalone binary: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releas ... -dlp_linux
It has the required Python embedded.

Greetings!

Yes, I was just gonna say the same, should work ok !

To add: youtube-dl "nightly" may work well too (not requiring very high Python version)

Thank you guys!

I recently used the appimage in Bookwormpup64_10.0.3, found here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
