This package tracks a fork of the original project: https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui.

The original project appears to be active again, so instead of switching this AUR package back to the upstream repository, users are advised to install the original AUR package instead:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/open-video-downloader

I may deprecate this package in the future if this fork remains archived.

@eqlipse Your issue should have been fixed, but you might want to try the more maintained: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/open-video-downloader

Running into what appears to be an invalid URL link for the package:

Installation complete.

Going to the source page, there doesn't appear to be a 2.5.7 version; I'm only seeing a 2.5.6 version. Trying the link directly, https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui/archive/refs/tags/v2.5.6.tar.gz will work fine while https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui/archive/refs/tags/v2.5.7.tar.gz returns a 404 error

@Idm, yes it should be fixed now!

tnx @JasonLandbridge

everything works, but on my system the program has a generic icon

is it possible to use one of these icons? https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui/tree/master/build/appx

JasonLandbridge commented on 2025-10-04 10:15 (UTC)

I've taken over as maintainer, let me know if I can improve anything. I've already updated to the latest 2.5.6 version.

@jose1711 @begin-theadventu thank you for the fix, I have updated the PKGBUILD with it.

jose1711 commented on 2024-06-29 09:48 (UTC)

To fix replace cp with install -Dm644.

jose1711 commented on 2024-05-03 14:36 (UTC)

youtube-dl-gui.desktop is missing read permission (mode is 600)
