It just plainly doesn't work on Xubuntu 16.04 / 64bit. If it's Ubuntu-based, it should work just fine. No, it doesn't. #10232

You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl. Read our FAQ if you have troubles updating. |
|
youtube-dl is already the newest version (2016.02.22-1). Am I? Why the hell does Xubuntu give me outdated versions?! |
|
Should I be using some extra repository? Just so, this sort of inconvenience wouldn't bother you guys anymore? |
|
Did you even read what I've posted? |
|
I have to admit, for my own shame, that I did not. I just thought it was pretty much like any other FAQ I've encountered. Obviously, it is not. I apologize. Sorry. |
|
Apparently, this is worse than working with ffmpeg... |
|
;o) ;o) No regrets, though, I do have a Windows 7 virtual machine. :D :D |
|
If something does not work still, please open a new issue and describe what's wrong. Note that youtube-dl is a Linux application first; although the Windows exe builds are fin and we do support Windows, most developers use Linux. |
I have just updated my system.
Everything is in the working order, though, with the reboot my system just said "We've encountered an error. Sorry to bother you, fuck off. " I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with this issue, though, probably another wine related problem.

As you can see, things aren't working that well... Are they? I just wanted to download a silly YouTube video to change its aspect ratio with more comprehensive tools...
