Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Am using fossapup64 and normally can play youtube on a browser without issues. Mpv also works well, but when I try to stream from my terminal command mpv https://... using an url, I get an error

e.g. [ytdl_hook] ERROR: gUbs8o_QWdo: YouTube said: Unable to extract video data
[ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error ocurred
Failed to recognize file format.

I have already installed the youtube-dl from PPM.

Could be that you need to update youtube-dl to latest version:
youtube-dl -U

-U gave me the url for the latest deb file to install. Now working well!
