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).)

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?
