youtube-dl-2021.12.17-1

Hi
after updating youtube-dl from 2021.06.06-1 to 2021.12.17-1 I get the following error
(trying downloading any video throws same error)

$ youtube-dl --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 33, in <module>
sys.exit(load_entry_point('youtube-dl==2021.12.17', 'console_scripts', 'youtube-dl')())
File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 22, in importlib_load_entry_point
for entry_point in distribution(dist_name).entry_points
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/importlib/metadata.py", line 524, in distribution
return Distribution.from_name(distribution_name)
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/importlib/metadata.py", line 187, in from_name
raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: youtube-dl


downgrading solves the prob
$ youtube-dl --version
2021.06.06

That project has issues and I am unsure about upstream support. Use yl-dlp instead.

[muddI]

ah ok, thanks, this one is "new" in the repo, missed that

But:

$yt-dlp

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yt-dlp", line 33, in <module>
sys.exit(load_entry_point('yt-dlp==2021.12.27', 'console_scripts', 'yt-dlp')())

raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: yt-dlp

Looks not that different

A partial update? Can't tell you.

But just for my understanding.
Shouldn't pacman inform me if there is a version mismatch?

anyway, updated python, now:

$pacman -Q python
python 3.10.1-2

And:

$ yt-dlp (v 2021.12.27-1)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yt-dlp", line 33, in <module>
sys.exit(load_entry_point('yt-dlp==2021.12.27', 'console_scripts', 'yt-dlp')())

And also:

$ youtube-dl (v 2021.06.06-1)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 33, in <module>
sys.exit(load_entry_point('youtube-dl==2021.6.6', 'console_scripts', 'youtube-dl')())

File "/usr/lib/python3.10/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 518, in from_name
raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for youtube-dl

So now, neither one works.

Switched back to python 3.9.6-1 and youtube-dl 2021.06.06-1. This combination works for me.

[muddI]

Ok, got it. Thanks!

[andiling]

For me, both are working (yt-dlp and youtube-dl).
It seems indeed you're haveing some update issues (e.g. with libffi), try some other mirror or reinstalling packages.

[muddI]

Yes, libffi was one that I had to upgrade.
But sadly, that broke my self compiled ffmpeg/mpv i.e.
Maybe archlinux is not the right distro for me, but thats my prob.
