  Or (If you have the storage), yt-dlp.

    mpv uses rhat (or youtube-dl) in background. I think yt-dlp still needs a config change?

      Yt-dlp is the successor for YouTube-dl I believe you can have it function as a drop-in replacement if want to.

  For some reason I’m getting:

  Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on  https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q="  
  [ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred 
  Failed to recognize file format.
  

  Seems weird.

    Probably need to update. With plain yt-dlp you just run “yt-dlp -U”

      That was correct, but yt-dlp is disabled on Debian and Ubuntu (apt), so I had to go to the Debian archives and install manually.
