Arch Linux User Repository

Switched to oleksis' fork (Python 3).

@Gr3q: Thanks. The app seems to work fine now.

The app is now called yt-dlg. (Could change that back to the old name youtube-dl-gui). Updated the .desktop file to run yt-dlg.

The app also now includes translations (thanks for @jose1711 for pointed that out in his PKGBUILD file).

(In the PKGBUILD file there is second version of the PKGBUILD in comments. That version follows the upstream build and run steps (pip install).)

Python upgraded from 3.9 to 3.10. Run pacman -Qo /usr/lib/python3.9 to see which packages are out-of-date.

@Locutus64 reinstall python-polib cleanly and it'll work

I'm getting the below in Garuda Dragonized Blackarch KDE. Any idea on how to fix it?

Worked thanks a bunch!

@Tio: (sudo) rm -rf /var/tmp/pamac-build-tio/youtube-dl-gui-git/

Yes I did...via the pamac gui or sudo pacman -Scc. Still the same issue.

@Tio you have to clean your cache (possible from inside pamac)

I get this error:

@Gr3q @willemw thank you both, great job!

Switched to oleksis' fork (Python 3).

@Gr3q: Thanks. The app seems to work fine now.

The app is now called yt-dlg. (Could change that back to the old name youtube-dl-gui). Updated the .desktop file to run yt-dlg.

The app also now includes translations (thanks for @jose1711 for pointed that out in his PKGBUILD file).

(In the PKGBUILD file there is second version of the PKGBUILD in comments. That version follows the upstream build and run steps (pip install).)

I created a package for oleksis's fork after submitting a few PRs for him fixing a couple of issues on linux, including a workaround for https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/70908.

It should be safe to switch to his fork now, but he renamed the app in his fork to yt-dlg so idk how does it come out to keep using the old name.

Edit: nevermind, I see you switched already

heh.. i had the same and was thinking that there's something wrong with my system. thanks for sharing.

@jose1711: the problems I was seeing (having to click sometimes twice on buttons) is because python-wxpython has been reverted to a very old version (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/70908). Newer versions should not have this bug.

To switch now to oleksis' fork without this bug means building python-wxpython on your machine, which can take up to several hours. I suggest to wait until python-wxpython has been updated to the current upstream release.

@jose1711: Going to switch to oleksis' fork. Will upload it tomorrow. It will install all the correct dependency versions.

I tried a PKGBUILD file similar to yours and had several version compatibility problems between dependencies (crashes reported on the command line).

Could you please consider switching to oleksis's fork at https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui? The current one seems abandoned. Cheers.

.desktop would need to be updated as well

This package depends on the latest "python2-wxpython3 (wxpython)" package from the official repositories. "python2-wxpython4" is not (yet) in the official repositories.

Maybe later when "python2-wxpython4 (wxpython)" becomes official, it will be easy to install both this package and ddrescue-gui, etc.

Sorry, I made a mess. Solved the problem.

The dependency belonged to the ddrescue-gui package, after removing it, the problem was solved and the installation continued.

Well it is a tip, whoever installed ddrescue-gui, will have this problem there in the installation. Thank you all very much for your patience and support in solving the problem.

It was probably installed as a dependency on some other package. I honestly don't know which one installed this dependency.

Is there any way to resolve without having to uninstall? Or can I just remove, install and then reinstall the python2-wxpython4 package again?

And @spsf64 even makepkg doesn't work ...

@vS0uz4: Yes. I think that python2-wxpython4 package interferes with building this package somehow.

Do you need the python2-wxpython4 package? Can you maybe delete that package?

This?

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx/lib/pubsub/__init__.py is owned by python2-wxpython4 4.0.3-4

@vS0uz4: again, what does pacman -Qo /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx/lib/pubsub/__init__.py print, the file that raises the ImportError in the traceback?

@willemw forcibly removed the caches

rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/youtube-dl-gui-git 

executed as mentioned in the command

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx/lib/pubsub/__init__.py

And finally I requested the installation with yay passing the parameter informing to clear the caches in the creation of the package as below:

yay -S youtube-dl-gui-git --answerclean A --nodiffmenu --noeditmenu 

the compilation error remains as you can see in the log below:

"""
**pubsub** is a Python package which provides a publish/subscribe API to facilitate event-based
programming and decoupling of components of an application via the Observer design pattern.

Using the Observer pattern in your application can dramatically simplify its design and improve
testability. Basically you just have some part(s) of your program subscribe to a particular topic
and have some other part(s) of your program publish messages with that topic. All the plumbing
is taken care of by pubsub.

It originated in wxPython around the year 2000 but has been standalone, available on PyPI, since
2006 under the name **PyPubSub** although the code has also been kept in wxPython as wx.lib.pubsub.

To remove the duplication of the pubsub code in both PyPubSub and wx.lib but to maintain backward
compatibility, wxPython 4 simply imports the standalone package into wx.lib.pubsub. Installing
or updating wxPython should now also install PyPubSub but it can be explicitly installed using
``pip install PyPubSub``

The documentation for pubsub is available at https://pypubsub.readthedocs.io/en/v4.0.0/ and the
source code is hosted at https://github.com/schollii/pypubsub

I don't have any files in ".../wx/", only in "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-3.0-gtk3", owned by python2-wxpython3.

@spsf64 Yes, thanks for the feedback. I will try using makepkg, to see if the problem is in yay

@vS0uz4: no problems for me here, works fine. Try to use makepkg instead of yay... @willemw: thanks for maintaining this package!

@Willemw But I did just that!

I use "yay" as a package manager, and when installing "youtube-dl-gui-git" I just informed you to clear the entire cache before generating the package.

@vS0uz4: Cannot reproduce in a clean chroot build environment. Maybe try removing some of your cached build folders and cached package files.

I'm having an issue recently, after hitting start and pre-processing it throws an error. Running it in the terminal shows this and I can't really find a fix for it.

@willemw: thanks that did it. I'm new to arch - still learning!

@mikeymckay: looks like you have an issue with your mirrorlist. Try updating and synchronizing (pacman -Syy) your mirrorlist.

Seems like one of the dependencies needs to be updated: failed retrieving file 'python2-wxpython3-3.0.2.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from mirror.tuchola-dc.pl : The requested URL returned error: 404

@willemw : now works withou problem.Sorry for late reply!

@servimo: this is an issue with youtube-dl, not youtube-dl-gui. youtube-dl is out-of-date. Try updating the youtube-dl package. Otherwise, use the latest one from the youtube-dl website for now. Can be downloaded from youtube-dl-gui (Menu button --> Update) to ~/.config/youtube-dlg/youtube-dl.
