[neon] [Bug 470794] Packaged version of PlasmaTube depends on outdated and broken version of yt-dlp

I believe the issue is that yt-dlp just keeps playing catch-up with whatever breaking changes in the Youtube API, so you should be expecting to always be using its latest version at any point in the future. That's very much incompatible with the standard way of packaging in Debian or Ubuntu, whereby the underlying package version is frozen. As an alternative, I wonder whether the KDE neon user repository could provide its own updates to the yt-dlp package, instead of relying on the Ubuntu one? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Fails with same error with the native package, runs fine with Flatpak. A suggestion from a thread in KDE Discuss was to install yt-dlp under `$HOME/.local/bin`, which should take precedence over the packaged version thanks to the `$PATH` override. It is still not ideal from a user's perspective. It begs the question whether it makes sense to provide an up-to-date plasmatube package in Neon without regular updates to yt-dlp too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
