Description Kristoffer Grundström 2023-03-27 20:56:04 CEST

Description of problem: I have problems getting to play a youtube clip with mpv much due to it using the very much deprecated project youtube-dl instead of using yt-dlp which is actively developed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.32.0

How reproducible: All the time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mpv.
2. Open a terminal window.
3. Run mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tG3kfgqPhc and it will fail telling you that you're using an outdated version of youtube-dl.
4. Try to update youtube-dl with sudo using the -U flag and it will still be the same version since the project is deprecated.

Update your system as cauldron is already at mpv-0.35.1-2.mga9 and uses yt-dlp-2023.02.17-1.mga9

I believe this is again an unprecise and messed up bugreport. It would only make sense if it was filed against MGA8 as there is still mpv-0.32.0-6.1.mga8 which depends on youtube-dl-2021.04.26-1.mga8
Maybe (depends how long MGA9 will take...) it would make sense to update also mpv for MGA8 as yt-dlp was already imported...
