With another version of app:

Alright, fixed with updating the yt-dlp version with the command

./yt-dlp.exe -U

Edit: Maybe you can add a feature, which updates this automatically when opening the app, if it's possible.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to check the yt-dlp version before starting any download, and if a newer version is available, automatically update to that version before continuing the download.

Thanks for letting me know about this, I cant update the app atm but I am free tomorrow so Ill release a hotfix with the updated yt-dlp. Ill also put instructions on the release page as well for other people.

Ill close this issue once the hotfix is out

This is planned for v2.0, I wont implement it into v1.10 though im just going to keep manually updating it for now

[rol2005hun]

Or you can pin somewhere that, if there is any issue, before opening an Issue on github they could try to run this command.

[WilliamSchack]

Good idea, ill just pin this one, not sure exactly how to bring it up when someone else is opening an issue, ill just close as duplicate of this one if that happens

[WilliamSchack]

Now that im thinking, thats not a bad idea I might add a popup to the submit issue button on the app that opens when there is a current issue, similar to how the notices are retrieved Ill just add a current issue thing. I will probably release this with v2 though

[WilliamSchack]

Issue is fixed in v1.10.8
