youtube-dl is dead in the water since June with major issues that keep being brought up every other post, like the well known, done-to-death throttling / sloooow download speed issue. If you have issues with youtube-dl then make it known in the correct place here https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues
Please stop asking bullshit questions here on this forum, as to why its not worth a w*nk. We can't fix it.
The project is abandoned, despite the devp insisting it isn't. Although why none of the myriad of team members can't keep it ticking over till his highly anticipated, overdue return, is a hollow facade for an obviously defunct app.
Please, for the love of God, migrate to yt-dlp which is an active / maintained app we can help you with.
Active Discord server for help, with the devp himself contributing daily - issues are addressed in seconds, not months.

Default behaviour for yt-dlp is not exactly the same as youtube-dl, so syntax could be slightly different to get what you need.

Thanks in anticipation.

Well if yt-dlp is now to be the greatest thing since the invention of sliced-bread we lesser mortals can have great issues with CLI and all the various switches to make it 'click'.
Since all gui's , AFAIK, are still based on the original maybe some could be adapted for the new kid on the block.
Just asking. -

@codehound
Many thanks for those links.
Pls excuse my general ignorance in these matters but the only executables I see are named, for example, 'Delete yt-dlp.exe' which if one takes at face value somewhat defeats the purpose. So are these depositaries just source code ?
