yt-dlp 2023.1.6.1 error with YTPlay

Despite the message regarding the depreciation of Python 3.8 if you ignore it the video still plays.

Indeed it does: I also mistook the warning about Python for an error message, which it is not. At some point in the future however Python 3.8 will stop working with YouTube.

Thank you to all who are responsible for making YTPlay, and keeping it working.

Amen to that, with bells on!

A quick fix you find here.
Is an update. I only change the formats from -f to -S. The old -f 18 is now -S ‘height:480’ (not correct but the lowest available) and -f 22 -S ‘height:720’.
Ignore the TaskWindow. Is no longer complete silent because —no-warnings and -q are not helps.
Many thanks to Chris.

Thanks for this update.
But since its installation, the display of Sargasso no longer works correctly, the window displays large empty areas.
I did an update of youtube_dl + Raik’s fix, I may have made a mistake! (ARMX6 OS v5.31)

The update are new RunImage for YTPlay or YTPlaylt only. Should have no Saragasso sideeffects.
I use it with 5.31 on PBPro.
Have you remove the old yt-dlp before update…

Thank you for your reply.
I made the mistake first, then I deleted the yt-dlp folder to install the new one.
!Sargasso version: 2.11 15 (Jul 2023)
YTplay works and !Sargasso “Open URL” too, the problem came after these tests
!Python38 executes a script correctly, no problem there.

The !Sargasso window displays the thread title, date, URL and only the text that was “bqed” (bold),then a screen-height background followed by the next feed.

I think I found the problem, by default the text “summaries” is displayed with the font NewHall.medium.
Replaced by homerton.medium the display has returned to normal…
And indeed with !Chars I could not access the NewHall.medium font, (the other NewHalls are OK)

It must be a coincidence, installing an update and a file that became faulty.
Thanks for letting me know that !Sargasso was still working well.
