youtube-dl is something that works best if you install it outside the apt package management system. If you have the system package installed, remove it with:
and install the current version using:
Code: Select all
sudo apt -y install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install youtube-dl
When downloads start to fail and you need to update it, you can do this:
Code: Select all
sudo pip3 install --upgrade youtube-dl
I don't know of a way of keeping youtube-dl automatically up to date. It's updated daily.
