Is anyone else getting error 400 when trying to DL YouTube videos?

All is working again now????? I don't know what happened but for about 16hrs I was getting an error 400 from FDM when trying to DL from Youtube.

Dear developers,

Why only youtube, yt-dlp supports more than that keep development for all supported sites not only youtube.

IDK if this is a bug or not but when I download a youtube video using this addon, instead of putting the video in "C:\Users\.....\Downloads" it puts it in "C:\Users\.....\Downloadsu" a folder it created.

sorry ignore the above comment

Hello any chance the author could show us how to build the Elephant add-on, so we can update it as soon as youtube-dl releases an update?

3 youtube-dl updates have been released since the latest Elephant update which is based on yt-dlp 2024.03.10.

yt-dlp 2024.04.09

Version 1.0.14. YT-DLP updated to Release 2024.05.27. Requires FDM 6.20+.

Just update plugin/yt-dlp/yt_dlp folder with the new files from yt-dlp. It's not 100% guarantee, but most of the time it should work.

Thank you for taking the time to update the addon.

Version 1.0.15. YT-DLP updated to Release 2024.07.02.

Youtube seems to be at it again. Started with WATCH HTML instead of the normal video name and now just says querying info endlessly.

I updated FDM and it fixed it.

Has the option to DL as WEBM gone away? I'm only able to DL as MP4 after updating.

Version 1.0.16. YT-DLP updated to Release 2024.07.09.

Should be fixed in 1.0.16.

Currently using 1.0.15 and tried to update in FDM addons and it says no update found.
Tried from file and after allowing python I get "unknown error".
