I did the same as you, and that's what I got. After trying again, the failed to build 'freetube-0.23.5-1': error is gone (not sure what caused it), but I'm still getting cp: cannot stat './FreeTube-0.23.6-beta. I've used makepkg -si and paru and both have the same result.

How did you simultaneously get cp: cannot stat './FreeTube-0.23.6-beta and failed to build 'freetube-0.23.5-1':? Changing just $pkgver and running $ updpkgsums did it for me.

Has anyone been able to build the latest version? I tried updating it myself but it throws out an error.

Thanks for correcting me @tuxayo, as I also have ytdlp-gui installed, I confused the packages since that one is written in rust.  Sorry about the confusion.

Sorry for continuing the out of topic:




yt-dlp  [...] so you don't need to install youtube-dl from AUR, and actually it should perform much better being rust.




yt-dlp isn't in rust. And it's a fork of youtube-dl.
A lot a people moved to yt-dlp because youtube-dl go way less actively developed.

BTW @M1ch431 yt-dlp is the one in the official repos (arch/extra or artix/world), so you don't need to install youtube-dl from AUR, and actually it should perform much better being rust.

@je-vv Thank you for leading me to the solution! I was missing youtube-dl.

@M1ch431, does mpv stand alone actually streams ok for you?  Eg:


mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_YiOuNYFMA
