Description Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2023-01-24 10:56:35 UTC
This is the last non-optfeature blocker that keeps net-misc/youtube-dl in the tree, and it should have been a terrible experience if anyone was still using.

yt-dlp python modules are not fully compatible with youtube-dl, but blind switch to yt-dlp may or may not work depending on what it uses[1]. But this project seems essentially dead, so don't think it's worth it.

net-misc/ytfzf can serve as a rough alternative to mps-youtube

Comment 1 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-01-24 11:54:04 UTC
Well, I don't know how well mps-youtube used to work but I've just tested it and I've got is "quota exceeded" (my guess is that it is using some preshared API key).  Maybe it could be gotten to work with a custom API key, maybe it can't.

However, last release in 2018 and last commit in 2020 pretty much summarize what's going to happen next.
