It looks like related to yt-dlp/yt-dlp#6247

I apply this fix in my docker container and the download is working back

I have the same problem but the fix didn't work for me. Does anyone have other ideas? I'm also not sure if I'm using yt-dlp or youtube-dl. Where can I look this up? Thanks

I don't use docker and my installation worked fine before this bug. I guess I would just need help to get youtube-dl or yt-dlp running again. Not a developer and more winging it here

Is this only working for arm? I tried to pull image to amd and got no manifest found error. Am I doing something wrong?

I was running into this as well. The problem is you need to update yt-dlp. Fortunately the container can handle this automatically by adding the following to your config file:

# Youtube-dl specific configuration.
[downloader]
# Optional, auto update youtube-dl every 24 hours
self_update = true

A good to know thank you.

I have fixed it temporarily by executing in container
python3 -m pip install --force-reinstall https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/archive/master.tar.gz

but it works until the container crashes for any reason.

I also encountered this problem with current mxpv/podsync:latest from docker hub. Using tdeutsch/podsync instead, updating yt-dlp locally inside the container or just rebuilding the container using the original Dockerfile all workaround the issue.

I believe its just a bug in the 6 months old version of yt-dlp in the docker hub image (very likely just an API change in YouTube) that is already fixed, and @mxpv should just trigger a rebuild of the docker hub image to get this fixed.

Still no luck for me. I get this error now

error="could not find youtube-dl: failed to execute youtube-dl: exit status 127"

maybe I edited something in the past. but where would I tell podsync where it can find youtube-dl or yt-dlp? Wouldn't care which one it uses.

Can you try recent release: https://github.com/mxpv/podsync/releases/tag/v2.6.1 ?

docker pull ghcr.io/mxpv/podsync:latest

I finally figured it out. I don't do docker but I got the newest version from github. Then I made sure that neither youtube-dl nor yt-dlp are on the system with purge and also uninstalling it via pip. You can check if it is still on the system with whereis youtube-dl and whereis yt-dlp
Then I downloaded newest yt-dlp version via pip and made a symlink from youtube-dl to yt-dlp. That did the trick. Make sure to get yt-dlp from pip and not apt install.
