MPV can no longer stream YouTube videos after yt-dlp has been updated.

[JoshuaH-072017]

So, recently, after enjoying watching YouTube videos through MPV (I would've set yt-dlp as the media player's yt-dl hook in a configuration file), I decided to update yt-dlp. However, after that update, MPV could no longer stream YouTube videos:

Any way to fix this? Just in case, here's my configuration line:
script-opts=ytdl_hook-ytdl_path=/home/[...]/Downloads/Program_Files/yt-dlp_linux

Try mpv master instead of the latest release.

[JoshuaH-072017]

At the potential risk of coming off as ignorant, could you elaborate further? Are you saying that I should compile MPV using the source code from Github instead of mpv.io? I (at least temporarily) solved the problem by installing yt-dlp through pip and setting the ytdl-hook to that version, but still.

[guidocella]

I don't think mpv.io has linux binaries? I meant to compile mpv newer than the last release yourself, for example with https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build or by installing mpv-git from the AUR. If just updating yt-dlp fixes it, that is not needed.

[tempest766]

what happens if you separate out the process: yt-dlp and save the content locally (.webm?) then trying playing it as a local file?
