No more compiled binaries for the patched version? about youtube-dl HOT 6 CLOSED

That repo was a helpful fallback when releases were not being made here. Now, use a yt-dl nightly release (#30839).

Also, #31585.

from youtube-dl.

The nightly release linked to in the thread you linked to above is dated 6/12/24, almost a week ago, although the actual binary gives a date of 6/11/24. Regardless of the date, it still won't download anything from YouTube.

What gives a date of 2024-06-11? I think you are seeing a filesystem date-time in your TZ. The release date-time is converted to a tag as UTC.

My mistake, somehow I still had a previous version, from when I tried to update the patched version using the --update function.

I've now made sure that I'm using the 6/12/24 version, and the --version command confirms that.

Now the error message is shorter, but it takes longer to print before it fails.

So, the yt-dll nightly releases you linked to are now over a week behind. Do "nightly releases" not happen nightly?

Which brings me back to my original question: Is the fact that there are no more binaries for the patched version (which IS releasing nightly) intentional, or did something break?

I wouldn't see the point of releasing identical code. Releases are built when the code changes. Had anyone submitted a suitable patch for #32202 it might already have been merged and released, but soon #32820 will be.

In any case it's no longer so critical.
