Did you try to update yt-dlp.exe? It might be the same issue as this:

#534 (comment)

You can use the yt-dlp updater that is mentioned in that reply. Just download the yt-dlp_Updater.zip file to your PC,
unzip it and double click on the file yt-dlp_Updater.exe to run the updater.
This will update yt-dlp.exe that is required by Open Video Downloader.

Same here, the 2.4.0 version is having error. Kindly check this error @ErikBrown2 @jely2002 @StefanLobbenmeier @itscaro @CyberBonk
I had downloaded the 2.5.4 version, and it is fine, check that.

I am sharing the 2.5.4 version here in ZIP, the link will be valid for 90 days from 08-11-2024 22:14.

Open-Video-Downloader-2.5.4

Yeah that error is the whole reason for the fork. Please don’t reupload it as zip, share link to the releases tab instead:
https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui/releases

@StefanLobbenmeier @ErikBrown2 @CyberBonk @itscaro @jely2002

Download from here: Open-Video-Downloader Releases from Stefan Lobbenmeier

The version 2.5.4 is removed from the "Releases" section of @jely2002 , that's why I shared it from my drive. Check the repository, there might be other issues too.

[StefanLobbenmeier]

Yeah it was never released from jely, since he stopped updating this repo

[ArchismanKarmakar]

@StefanLobbenmeier But why did you shift the repo here? Your account was pretty good, or you could have just made an organization from your account to resolve such issues.

[StefanLobbenmeier]

I don’t own this repo, only jely2002 does: https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/

if he were to add me here or transfer ownership I would gladly do that, but Jely is mostly of the radar. So to avoid this project dying completely I forked it and merged some of the fixed

ty for linking the fork
