@stone

• download yt-dlp.exe from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases

• open wherever you saved it in explorer

• hold shift and right-click in the window (not on any of the files)

• click "open PowerShell window here" or "open in Terminal" or whatever

• in the window that pops up, type ./ytdlp.exe -x "youtube url" and hit enter

@stone Ah, lmao, different instructions

when was the last time you updated yt-dlp? Usually the ones you install through the system package manager are out of date and youtube changes a lot to break yt-dlp

@stone If it doesn't work after updating, I can probably try downloading it from here

honestly, what I usually do is

• git clone https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp.git

• cd into the yt-dlp folder that made

• every time i want to download a thing, I git pull from that directory and then ./yt-dlp.sh youtube url

@stone Possibly the URL is wrong or the filename it's trying to save to is weird? This is what I usually run.
