@drwho

I couldn't reproduce the problem. I checked versions and it seems to be the same as pip3 one, both update Nov 11 as the upstream, however whoever maintains pip3 version changed upstream pkgrel to match the git tag. Upstream has '-2' version on '-3' tag https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc/blob/2020.11.11-3/youtube_dlc/version.py

If you somehow mixed system-wide install from pip3 and AUR that version discrepancy could be the problem.

There's also restored youtube-dlc upstream repo but its last release was Oct 9 and there are still some DMCA related issues https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc/issues/255

The .post2 version installed by this AUR package does not seem to work:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'youtube-dlc==2020.11.11.post2' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Installing youtube-dlc with pip3 (which installs the .post3 version, as of 1740 hours UTC-8) does, however, work as expected.

Hi, I patched PKGBUILD a bit https://gist.github.com/Brli/7d3c712b6931e59ca1109e34da0f738d

It reduce the dependency of zip, and disabled the binary-lized executable, with more plain python script files in python's site_packages and in /usr/bin, increase in about 11MB

which is more compliance to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_package_guidelines
