Issue with the latest youtube-dl

[rikkuz]

Since no one seem to actually pay attention to this even though it's an actual and critic issue, I will now explain how after some work I managed to get it running correctly in docker.

What I did was to attach to the executing container and once inside it, install python3: since the image isn't even shipped with it but just with python2.7, useless for this purpose.

Once python3 is installed you download the latest executable of yt-dlp, the fork which actually works (can't say the same for youtube-dl), you can find the link in my latest post.

Then you point the bot's config.ini to this new executable, which you can put in /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp.

Once done just give a docker restart and you can finally enjoy a working music bot that does not download corrupted videos at 50kB/s

hi, thank you for the solution! could you write a beginner's guide on how to make this solution? I installed python3, but i don't know how to continue..

Outside of docker? Even easier ;-) Just download the latest release of youtube dl-p as I linked, and just be sure to have python3 installed on your machine. After that you just need to point the config.ini to the new yt-dlp and that's it!

what do you mean with "you just need to point the config.ini to the new yt-dlp and that's it!"?

Well, it means just that.
Edit for example

YoutubeDLPath = "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl"

to

YoutubeDLPath = "/usr/local/bin/yt-dlp"

.
But make sure that the file is also named "yt-dlp". If it's named "youtube-dlp" or something else you need to of course change it to "youtube-dlp" in the config.ini

Thank you for the reply. I have already tried but it doesn't work (the error in this case is "youtube-dl not available"). I think you have to do something with Python before, but i don't know

Try this and then restart

chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

Hi, could you help me? I did the entire process described here, but the error continues: "youtube-dl not available"

Could you by chance give me instructions on how to install python3 in my sinusbot docker container? I tried but failed doing so

docker exec -it <sinusbot-container-name> /bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get install python3

Mhhh this is weird. I am sorry but i tested it on a linux machine so i have no clue on Windows right now, but i will keep investigating on this.

I Alos have this exact problem. Just downloaded yt-dlp and set the path in the config. Now i get this error:

Thanks for the tip! With yt-dlp all my problems have been solved for now. Especially with long Youtube videos (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P95yWWHzMkc) the connection broke after a few minutes or the bot jumped randomly through the song. I have adjusted the parameters of the config for yt-dl, as often recommended here in the forum, but unfortunately no success. Now I have replaced yt-dl with yt-dlp and it works fine! So it was indeed the download rate limitation (that seems logical for long videos).

Only I have not yet figured out how other services, such as soundcloud can be streamed with !yt. But I will investigate further.

I also got a problem with that. I tried to use the "Youtube-Search" Scripts and i get this erros. I looked up on google and tried everything and still not working.

Also when i use regular !yt [ !yt url ] works but it works so slowly. (Already used -echo '--force-ipv4' > /etc/youtube-dl.conf )
