Got the bat from someone else. Then I use youtube dl and multiple commands fail and return with the error "ERROR: 'youtube-dl' is not a valid URL. Set --default-search "ytsearch" (or run youtube-dl "ytsearch:youtube-dl" ) to search YouTube" I had the same issue in the previous version and the only way I got around this was by using youtube-dl gui from another person. But I'm trying to not be dependent on that and figure out why it keeps giving the same error. Even without the bat file and just running command prompt, I still get the same error, as shown:
