I saw the news about Media-downloader, but I don't really understand how to install it.

I used 7z to make a mediadownloader folder, and when I run media-downloader.exe, I get a bunch of notices.

I found and installed ffmpeg using ANPM, so that was one message. Here are the rest.

[media-downloader] Failed to find version information, make sure "yt-dlp" is installed and works properly

--- End code ---

How can I fix the rest of these messages?

David McKenna:
Hi Neil,

  I tried the media-downloader and got the 'aria2c not found' message too. A quick google showed that aria2c is some type of command line web media downloader executable (kinda like 'curl' I guess) that we don't have a port of. So 'Media-downloader' is probably supposed to be a 'front end' to that, but without aria2c kinda useless...

It might work with just yt-dlp, a fork of youtube-dl IIRC. If nothing else you could use it on the command line, python yt-dlp https:youtube.com/path/tovideo or such.
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
Note that with youtube-dl, I had to disable CTYPES or such.

Martin Iturbide:
Hi

I'm guessing hard here, but I think in my case it needs phyton3. phyton3 is only on the exp repository as I can see.
Neil are you using "netlabs-exp" on that machine?

I will keep trying.

Regards

 Hi Martin,

  You are probably correct - the only error I see when starting media-downloader is about aria2c, and I do have Python3 installed (it was very difficult to install for me). But even so, I can't do anything with media-downloader - everything is greyed-out and not working...

Regards,
