Topic: (linux) selective update - only youtube_dl engine

Hello,

on my Devuan Box i have svp4linux installed, but svptube2 would give error

Youtube said : Unable to extract video data

when parsing a link to it.



Is it possible to select only the update "youtube_dl engine" from the 7 proposed updates?
if i would install all the updates, the whole thing would be at risk of staying functional i suppose;


thanks!

Maybe give this a try?

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

Or if you prefer,
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

Use the binary which can be updated by just youtube-dl -vU. You may need to change the permissions and symlink it though.
