This maintenance update refreshes yt-dlp and fixes its built-in updater.
Improvements
- ThemeDeck now includes the newer yt-dlp nightly build
2026.08.18.122307for more reliable YouTube search and audio downloads. - Update yt-dlp now downloads the latest Windows nightly directly from the official yt-dlp nightly releases.
- A linear progress bar now follows the nightly download, with a clear confirmation when the new version is ready.
Fixes
- Fixed the yt-dlp update action failing or continuing to use the stable release channel.
