I am getting the following error after upgrading yt-dlp
ERROR: [Piracy] This website is no longer supported since it has been determined to be primarily used for piracy. DO NOT open issues for it
Does anyone know any forks that still works.
Time to fork it with a non pussyfied version
See https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/yt-dlp-error-piracy-this-website-is-no-longer-supported.93995/ for some pertinent comments.
See list of forks here https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/forks. If you find one that works, let us know.
Can you remember the last version that worked for you? A quick workaround could be downloading an older build off the github.
Still this is extremely disappointing and hopefully someone forks it.
It used to work last year 😀 . The debian yt-dlp version: [email protected] is giving a different error
ERROR: [Einthusan] 9r1H: 9r1H: Failed to parse JSON (caused by JSONDecodeError(“Expecting value in ‘’: line 1 column 1 (char 0)”)); please report this issue on https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q= , filling out the appropriate issue template. Confirm you are on the latest version using yt-dlp -U
Old versions of yt-dlp never work for me. Even after a few months, it’s usually time to upgrade.
This isn’t going to make the copyright holders hate them any less.
The most likely explanation is that their previous implementation broke due to a website change, and they didn’t want to bother with fixing it. People began opening issues for them to fix it, but now it looks like they’re aiding people explicitly asking for piracy, so they can’t win (and also I’m willing to bet it fucking sucked trying to support that particular website)
Is that an indirect plea to open an issue for it? We should do this.
They are closing all issues citing piracy https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+piracy+is%3Aclosed
Fork it and put it on radicle or I2P. The MAFIAA can go fuck themselves.
What sites for eg?
