yt-dlp fork with in-between releases and a custom Windows XP build. Also
Python 3.14 builds for Windows 7.

yt-dlp is a feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader with support
for thousands of sites. The project is a fork of youtube-dl based on the now inactive youtube-dlc.

Command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and other video
sites.

https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp

FYI, make sure to get the file whose name ends with "_win7" or "_winXP". The ones without any, are for Windows 8+ only.

Weird, I get a 406 under both XP and Linux. Github has been
practically inaccessible for a while.
Same for Sourceforge, was blocked by Cloudfare for months (as
was Majorgeeks) but they work again now.

When I use a Russian proxy I can both see and download the
files.

yt-dlp_x86_winXP.exe

MD5: 189736a4f3c193b7213e3c8682adb81d
SHA-1: 2334880888c9c40d166e6ce638b49d218477d25e
SHA-256:
c34a7aa1d756992632a86ca8f0cc2e193b99688bf6820c06a32168ddda3645d2

Does that look about right? Github has an issue with Brazil.
Maybe because Lula refused to join the "Board of Piece"?

YouTube keeps changing in order to defeat yt-dlp. Will these forks be
updated accordingly?

That's a problem for the forked/original yt-dlp. The fork is mainly for
making the application usable in Win7/WinXP. It heavily based on the forked/original yt-dlp.

YouTube support is a problem. Yes. And it's getting worse and worse. But
AFAIK, so far, yt-dlp is the most reliable one. Even if YouTube support is
just no longer applicable, it's still reliable for other video hosting
sites.

JJ, Thank you.

For a couple of months I could not get it work, but today it's working
again.
I have 3DYD 1.26.1 for x86 (so 32 bit)
with the win7 file from yt-dlp.

It took some time (I'm always losing my way on github)
to find the right file, but it was worth it!
