Good afternoon. Six months ago, Tartube was installed from the repository, with yt-dlp. Everything worked great, but about 2 weeks ago a problem arose. Shown using an example of downloading in Classic Mode. In other modes, the problem is the same in the end. Updating yt-dlp didn't help. Yt-dlp took from here https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases.
If you use yt-dlp separately from the command line, it works.

Tartube. Example. Output.

Command line. Example. Output.

This is not my cup of tea.
But I know we also have packaged clipgrab - does that work as an alternative?

Yes, clipgrab works, thanks. But why clipgrab and yt-dlp separately from the command line, works, but Tartube - does not, for the same source? I will continue to search for a solution.

The problem is that the external download of yt-dlp from within tartube is disabled. Don't use external versions of yt-dlp!

Solution: Install yt-dlp from MCC and tartube will pick up this version. After that everything works. Make sure that tartube uses the correct default path /usr/bin/yt-dlp

Thanks, but I have the same result

And yt-dlp from MCC - works great from command line

You need to clean up your system. Remove all traces (including settings and caches) from your external yt-dlp. Also remove the tartube settings and caches. Works flawlessly here.

From tartube (after installing yt-dlp with MCC):

I'll try, thank you.

Thank you very match. You were right, everything works now. Just in case, I completely uninstalled the program and components, deleted the settings files, and deleted the cookies.txt file from the tartube-data directory. I rebooted so that there was no doubt left. I installed everything again, the program picked up the settings from the database, and now everything works correctly.

Provided with the correct information, would you be so kind, to mark the topic solved.
You can do so, by writing [SOLVED] leftwards of the topic-title in your first message.
Thanks ahead.

I'm sorry,

I thought only a moderator after checking can do this

No worries, thank you.
