The Microsoft App keeps coming up with the Errors: This URL is currently not supported by YTDL and Unable to extract uploader ID

[SouthDakotaGirl]

When I put in a youtube link into the app it comes back with two errors: Errors: This URL is currently not supported by YTDL and Unable to extract uploader ID.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download the Microsoft app
2. Enter a youtube video link
3. And see the error

• Windows 10
• Version: 2.2.2
• Microsoft Store
  

I would just like to be able to use it from the app if possible. 🙏
And on suggestions on getting it to work would be great.

I was not even aware it was published to the Microsoft store. Version 2.2.2 is very old and still uses YouTube-dl instead of yt-dlp

feel free to download from my fork instead

I have the same issue on macos running v 2.4.0 0 it probably needs to update the version of youtube dl its using underneath but I don't know how to do that @StefanLobbenmeier
