>last stable release: TWO MONTHS agoIt's dead.
they should rewrite it in rust. it really needs it bas its slow as fuck (takes 2 seconds just to start up even on good pc). but nooooooooooo the rust trannies have to target ffmpeg with is already perfect
>>108903287Maybe it should be in Javascript since it's still fast compared to Python and it's also the scripting language browsers use. Idk just shooting from the hip here.
>>108903302genius
I love that they are refusing to use bun because of ai slop when I've contributed at least two commits using only AI to the project
>>108903266If the code is constantly updated, then it's not a “stable” branch, you fucking mongoloid.
>>108903302>>>/v/
>>108903302Try shooting into your forehead
>no counter-argumentThe sheer state of /g/
>>108903266I used it to download videos about a week ago and it worked fine...
>>108903266use nightly if you want updooooots>>108903878stable still works fine for my use case (ongoing archival of one channel + occasional random video)
>>108903287just ask claude to do it and make no mistakes, can be done in 10 minutes.
usecase for unnecessary updates?
>>108903266last retarded baitpost: TWO MONTHS agoIt's retarded.
>>108903266current build works perfectly fine. just because it hasn't had an update in 2 months doesn't mean it is "dead". If it works, then it works. also their github repository shows that commits were made as recently as yesterday. you are acting like this shit got nuked off the face of the earth when in reality this was always a rolling project with no real stable branch.
>>108903266Isn't the maindev a snailcat anyway?

>>108904187a16z thanks you for your service. $0.01 awarded! Keep Shilling!
>>108903266works on my machine
If you absolutely must have updates just use the nightly version
it only gets updated when youtube breaks it
>>108904187so when can we expect your vibeslopped replacement?
>>108904540you'll never get vibeslop to call you a nigger, only i can do that. nigger.
>>108904551>you'll never get vibeslop to call you a niggerwtf i could easily get some vibeslop to call me a nigger. what are you even trying to say?
>>108903287>rewrite in rustThey probably use python because it's widely supported, has plenty of libraries for everything, and everyone already knows how to use it. If a rewrite is a must, then Go is better suited for this.>(takes 2 seconds just to start up even on good pc)That's the python interpreter startup time + the loading of all the extractors and their things, I remember being able to halve the time by disabling them. But once it's loaded it's not that bad.
>>108904080I agree that pointless updates are bad, but in yt-dlp's case, JewTube plays cat-and-mouse with the downloader apps, so they have to make changes in the tool so it keeps working. In this sole case, updates make a lot of sense.
works on my machine
>>108903287ffmpeg has been rewritten in rust?
worked for me yesterdaywhat's wrong?
>>108904464Master > Nightly > Stable
>>108904855the trannies planned on doing it
>>108904767holy cope
>>108904799That's all well and good but the current stable (2026.03.17) version still works for downloading youtube videos, so i'm not sure what op is crying about.
>log in to prove you're not a bot>pass cookies with --cookies-from-browser but librewolf is not supported lol>okay thanks for the cookies but now there's a captcha so go install some solver with dependencies>nah fuck it I'm done>next day it just works without cookies or anythingIt's not yet over but soon to be over at this rate.
