If you're on Debian Stable, please be aware that the version of yt-dlp (2023.03.04-1) is really ancient and not feasible with YouTube as of today. You need to install more recent version from bookworm-backports and keep it up-to-date. > 2) I only know how to download Youtube videos with yt-dlp, and the videos > that I wanted to watch were not from Youtube. yt-dlp supports plenty of video services: 7live, 1News, 1tv, 20min, 23video, 247sports, 24tv.ua, 3qsdn, 3sat, 4tube, 56.com, 6play, 7plus, 8tracks, 9c9media, 9gag, 9News, 9now.com.au,
