Since yt-dlp doesn’t work anymore, is there a replacement?

    Try updating. I got that a few days ago using an old version, and updating fixed it.

      Oh man, you’re my hero. All the docker containers update automatically, but I stopped trying them because of the issues and kept trying manually. It’s working now! Thank you!

        Excellent. I just use the CLI executable directly and update it as it breaks. Wasn’t even aware there were Docker versions of it lol.

        Glad you got it working! ytdl-sub is my go-to as well now that I’ve migrated it to a Linux server. A fantastic program. Be sure to enable throttle_protection though, my limits were too low and my account got blocked (using cookies because some of my subscriptions’ videos get flagged mature)

        Weird. I did a test download before replying, and it worked. Though I’m just using vanilla yt-dlp and am unfamiliar with the other two variants you listed.
