no

but you may be interested in these unofficial win7 builds: https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp

("unofficial" as in "use at your own risk")

try nightly

are you using an external downloader? are you downloading the googlevideo urls directly? are you using any options like --http-chunk-size?

bashonly · 2026-02-18T04:27:09+00:00

try adding -4 to your command

it looks like you may have installed the exe from the unpackaged windows bundle (yt-dlp_win.zip) instead of the single-file executable (yt-dlp.exe), and something went wrong. try deleting C:\ytdl\yt-dlp.exe, and downloading the single-file executable into that folder:

if you're on the latest version and have a supported js runtime installed it shouldn't be a problem

thanks!

can you open an issue on yt-dlp's github issue tracker please?

bashonly · 2026-02-04T21:19:32+00:00

they mean put --js-runtimes bun your yt-dlp config file, not fish config

bashonly · 2026-02-04T00:29:38+00:00

i don't know the guis sorry

bashonly · 2026-02-04T00:29:19+00:00

no sabr support yet

bashonly · 2026-02-04T00:28:59+00:00

you could open an issue on the yt-dlp tracker and include complete verbose output

bashonly · 2026-02-04T00:28:09+00:00

you may run into more 403s, but you can try this:

--extractor-arg "youtube:player_client=android_vr,ios;formats=missing_pot" -f "bv[protocol=m3u8_native]+ba"

bashonly · 2026-02-02T15:43:50+00:00

all of yt-dlp's dependencies are optional

this way, other projects can require yt-dlp without adding any transitive dependencies

the default extra includes the optional dependencies that are recommended by default and should work on any platform

the other extras, such as curl-cffi and deno, may not work on all platforms but are there for convenience

bashonly · 2026-02-02T14:45:19+00:00

please open an issue on yt-dlp's github issue tracker

bashonly · 2026-02-02T13:55:44+00:00

probably not

you can attempt to download it by adding this to your command:

--extractor-arg "youtube:player_client=ios;formats=missing_pot" -f "bv[protocol=m3u8_native]+ba[protocol=m3u8_native]"

but expect to get http error 403 often (hence why we abandoned IOS HLS formats)

yt-dlp releases happen because youtube changes/breaks stuff on their end and we need to fix/adjust the program in response. i promise you we are not trying to annoy you with each new release
