Edit: It seems yt-dlp was at some point moved from AUR to Extra. I was half expecting it to happen eventually since youtube-dl stopped working about a year ago, but I never noticed it happening.
Either way, as it’s a package on extra instead of AUR there’s a lot less of a security concern for anyone worried about that.
Original comment:
I have yt-dlp from the AUR (Arch User Repository). youtube-dl package also exists, and it’s on extra, but it stopped working about half a year ago
@Astaroth, why do you use yt-dlp from aur if it is also in `extra` repository?
like I said only the original youtube-dl package is in extra
but it stopped working a while back.
since then I've been using the youtube-dl fork
yt-dlp that OP mentioned, but it's in aur
atm since it hasn't gotten as recognized as it's a fork (I assume)
Basically yt-dlp is a fork of youtube-dl, and unlike youtube-dl it's in aur instead of extra.
At least last I checked all youtube-dl forks are in aur, but you have to use yt-dlp (or maybe one of the other forks) since youtube-dl doesn't work anymore.
You are wrong. https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/yt-dlp/ yt-dlp is in the extra repository (has been for a long time now) as they said. No need to install it from the AUR
Interesting. I'm pretty sure it was on AUR when I installed quite a while back, but looks like it's in Extra now yeah.
It does make sense though since youtube-dl hasn't been working for about a year.
I should've checked before commenting
Don't sweat it bro
