Since yt-dlp doesn’t work anymore, is there a replacement?

Since yt-dlp doesn’t work anymore
Of course it still works. I used it a minute before I posted this.
Probably using an outdated release from years ago.
I don’t have any issues, what’s the problem?
I think I read awhile ago YouTube is testing a change that renders programs like yt-dlp completely useless, but I’m fuzzy on the detail
If you’re an Android user, try Newpipe! https://newpipe.net/
It still works for now. I’m in emergency hoard-shit-for-no-good-reason mode
Are you having issues? Because I’ve covered almost every error in my own attempts
I get 403 when I try to use it. I normally use
ytdl-subandyoutubedl-material, but those stopped working so I tried doing it just straight from the command line, and it doesn’t work anywhere.Try updating. I got that a few days ago using an old version, and updating fixed it.
Oh man, you’re my hero. All the docker containers update automatically, but I stopped trying them because of the issues and kept trying manually. It’s working now! Thank you!
Glad you got it working! ytdl-sub is my go-to as well now that I’ve migrated it to a Linux server. A fantastic program. Be sure to enable throttle_protection though, my limits were too low and my account got blocked (using cookies because some of my subscriptions’ videos get flagged mature)
Excellent. I just use the CLI executable directly and update it as it breaks. Wasn’t even aware there were Docker versions of it lol.

Weird. I did a test download before replying, and it worked. Though I’m just using vanilla
yt-dlpand am unfamiliar with the other two variants you listed.
Removed by mod
No, just regular content.
I watched some old Minecraft let’s play a while back and I think it’s gone forever now. Really wish I had somehow downloaded a copy before it just bleeped out.
Yeah, that’s my biggest concern as well. For example LetsPlay. They had a controversy in which one primary Minecraft player was fired and removed from the group, and I think a couple of their videos were scrubbed, even though the vast majority of content in the video was good entertainment.
There are also copyright and DMCA claims ruining any YouTuber’s video, entertainment value and monetisation, including Google bending the knee to corporations that don’t actually have the right to claim any content… There are a lot of reasons for wanting to archive the internet, mostly state/corporate overreach
yt-dlp supports passing on cookies from your browser, oncw you’ve logged in at least once.
There’s also GrayJay on Android.
I’ve been using pinchflat which is essentially a front end for yt-dlp and it’s been working fine for me. Mind you, i have all YouTube traffic from pinchflat running through a vpn to a different country so but that’s because that system also sails the high seas 🏴☠️😂
