Now that you got answers, a question: what made you post this here?
AFAICT this has nothing to do with Debian (if you use Debian, you'd
more naturally install that tool from `apt` which won't fetch it from
Github).

That site works here, but I don't think that's important. It appears
to offer youtube-dl 2021.12.17, which is /ancient/.

You'd be better off just installing Debian's yt-dlp in the usual
manner. And you can do better than that at the moment, by using
the backports version, 2024.04.09-1~bpo12+1.

If the backports version falls behind, you can usually install the
version from unstable (now trixie), because yt-dlp's dependencies
are all unversioned. The medium term disadvantage of this approach
is that it won't be upgraded automatically when a new version
appears: you have to keep an eye out.

Cheers,
David.

I have been unable to use youtube-dl for (I believe) over a year, now, 
due, I believe, to changes made by youtube, and, had been unable to use 
yt-dlp .

Then, after reading the above post by David Wright, I updated my 
installed version of yt-dlp to the backports version 
2024.04.09-1~bpo12+1, and, yt-dlp is merrily working.

The latest version of youtube-dl , makes it too old to try to use now; 
if you can get it working with youtube, good luck to you.

An unmaintained package, that is three years since last updated, for 
accessing web sites on the World Wide Web?

Hmmmm.....

Development of original youtube-dl ceased, yt-dlp is now the thing to
use.

The youtube-dl package in Debian 12 is a transitional package which
brings in yt-dlp (version 2023.03.04-1 currently).

Whether that's too old to be usable is a good question, but it's
definitely not "three years since last updated".

- the changelog showing youtube-dl to have been last updated 2021.12.17

so, it is only two years and four months ; 28 months, and, not 36 
months, since it was last updated.

My error.

I wonder how many people would be happy using Debian Linux, if it was 
not updated for 28 months?

So don't use that.

The Debian package youtube-dl is NOT actually youtube-dl any more.  It
is a transitional package that brings in yt-dlp instead.

hobbit:~$ dpkg -s youtube-dl | grep -e transitional -e Depends
Depends: yt-dlp
Description: download videos from YouTube and other sites (transitional package)

The yt-dlp package is version 2023.03.04-1.  It's 13 months old.

And the backports version is 2024.04.09-1~bpo12+1 ; all of 15 days old.

Sheesh.

This is starting to appear like the Monty Python's Flying Circus "Buying 
an argument" skit.

I have had enough.

And, as the great Forrest Gump said, "And that is all I have to say 
about that."

I am leaving this skit.

It definitely sounds like you should ask those youtube-dl people for
a refund, and maybe some service credit for all the distress this
matter has caused you.

My experience was similar to Bret's, only I'd long got used to not
just taking Debian's proferred version, but checking whether there
was a newer version somewhere around. It was in February 2023 when
I found that even the most modern version of youtube-dl that I could
find would still not work with some sites that had worked before.
That's when I stumbled upon yt-dlp, and realised the world had
quietly moved on.

This was in the days of bullseye, and note that bullseye still has
a /normal/ youtube-dl package, 34 months old, and no yt-dlp package.
For the latter, you need to be running backports (and I have no idea
when yt-dlp entered bullseye-backports).

It kind of reminds me of the mplayer, mpv, and the debian multimedia
site melange of a few years ago, only there there was more discussion
of rival versions (and the perils of using that site) on the list.

Cheers,
David.
