jinchoung · 2022-05-03T00:20:01Z

as soon as i add a link to download, that is the message displayed and i am unable to download anything at all.

on win10.

jinchoung · 2022-05-03T04:23:39Z

ah, i found a fix for me - instead of just downloading and installing from the windows zip, download and install it from the windows store link. that made it work.

I am also having this issue, have tried reinstalling multiple times to no avail

I have the same bug with build 2.4.0 and Win 11. I have also changed to windows store build and it works. Thanks for the tips.

the windows version is outdated and uses the now depreciated youtube dl instead dlp, rendering the application useless

Same issue here.

Temporary fix that’s better than just downloading it from the Microsoft Store and reverting to yt-dl (as opposed to yt-dlp). Here’s what I did.

Download the portable version 2.3.1 (previous one) here.
Download the latest version of yt-dlp here.
Run version 2.3.1
In your installation files, find the "youtube-dl.exe" file and rename it "youtube-dl.exe.old"
Move the yt-dlp file to that same directory and rename it "youtube-dl.exe".

Not ideal, but it did the trick.

Temporary fix that’s better than just downloading it from the Microsoft Store and reverting to yt-dl (as opposed to yt-dlp). Here’s what I did.

1. Download the portable version 2.3.1 (previous one) [here](https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/releases/tag/v2.3.1).

2. Download the latest version of yt-dlp [here](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2022.03.08.1).

3. Run version 2.3.1

4. In your installation files, find the "youtube-dl.exe" file and rename it "youtube-dl.exe.old"

5. Move the yt-dlp file to that same directory and rename it "youtube-dl.exe".

Not ideal, but it did the trick.

You can use the current portable version 2.4 and just copy yt-dlp.exe in the same directory.
No old version and no renaming necessary.

FCalleja · 2022-05-11T15:03:16Z

I'm getting the same message, is there no way to fix it beside switching to the portable version and manually changing the yt-dlp version?

FCalleja · 2022-05-11T15:13:30Z

Further information on my issue if it helps: the yt-dlp.exe file is NOT being downloaded automatically. That's why I was getting the binaries missing error, it was literal, just adding the .exe to the folder created by the portable version fixed it.

skrybot · 2022-05-14T09:23:07Z

metoo, solved by instalation with microsoft store

Hi guys, just add youtube-dl binary to the binaries folder, and then let's compile the project :)

or add youtube-dl binary directly to the binaries folder of the extracted app (installed, portable...)

Doesn't work for me sadly.

I tried to force "everyone" full control permission on the root folder, still getting this error :

richardsondev · 2022-06-09T07:19:06Z

Further information on my issue if it helps: the yt-dlp.exe file is NOT being downloaded automatically. That's why I was getting the binaries missing error, it was literal, just adding the .exe to the folder created by the portable version fixed it.

I have sent a pull request to update the logic to fix this issue here: #375

Temporary fix that’s better than just downloading it from the Microsoft Store and reverting to yt-dl (as opposed to yt-dlp). Here’s what I did.

Download the portable version 2.3.1 (previous one) here.

Download the latest version of yt-dlp here.

Run version 2.3.1

In your installation files, find the "youtube-dl.exe" file and rename it "youtube-dl.exe.old"

Move the yt-dlp file to that same directory and rename it "youtube-dl.exe".

Not ideal, but it did the trick.

Thank you mate....

just use this version, it's the easiest:

Doesn't work for me sadly.

I tried to force "everyone" full control permission on the root folder, still getting this error :

portable verion will create a folder on startup called open-video-downloader if not exist
the error shows they are finding yt-dlp.exe in E:\TOOLS\Youtube-DL\open-video-downloader\yt-dlp.exe

not the folder path you place open-video-downloader

E:\TOOLS\OpenVideoDownloader\open-video-downloader\yt-dlp.exe

just reopen Open-Video-Downloader-2.4.0-portable.exe and paste yt-dlp.exe into folder ./open-video-downloader
