It's already resolved from yt-dlp's side.

Would it be proper for youtube-dl-gui to ship the latest version of it, though a manual update is possible?

I had the same issue.

A proper fix is needed from the developer but if you want to use the app right now you can manually update yt-dlp

• download the latest binary for your platform from here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases
• place the binary here: <app-directory>/resources/app.asar.unpacked/binaries
• open a command prompt or terminal in the directory and run yt-dlp --version
• edit the ytdlVersion file with the proper version number
• open the app and wait until it updates its dependencies

Strictly, related to yt-dlp/yt-dlp#6247.

I agree, it would be nice to have an option in the settings to select the release channel, so we can also support yt-dlp daily builds

If you are having this issue on linux, download the latest yt-dlp version and replacing the version in $HOME/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix with the newer version. You can run $HOME/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix --version before and after to make sure it worked

So I'm on macOS and it turns out there's yt-dlp_linux in the folder and not yt-dlp macos.

When I try to run yt-dlp --version it says yt-dlp isn't recognized in the terminal in the binaries folder.

The app doesn't work anyway and the reason seems to be

"errno": "ENOENT", "code": "ENOENT", "syscall": "spawn /Applications/Open Video Downloader.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/binaries/yt-dlp-unix", "path": "/Applications/Open Video Downloader.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/binaries/yt-dlp-unix",

All help much appreciated

@sagarinbabel feel free to use my fork, that error should be fixed there
