Currently yt-dlp has not been upgraded to 2024.03.10 on Manjaro so YouTube videos/audios can't be downloaded.

Version 1.4.6 enables the switch to the provided yt-dl python lib.

Updated version to have yt-dlp as dependency. If you have a previous version of 1.4.5, uninstall first (it clashes with the dependencies)

Thanks for reporting. It seems that my setup build has been changed, since the yt-dlp should be a dependent, not intrinsically installed. Will be fixed.

This package claims to be a frontend for yt-dlp but actually tries to install the CLI‌ tool also, thus creating a conflict:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
ytdownloader: /usr/bin/yt-dlp exists in filesystem (owned by yt-dlp)

Please install only the frontend and add yt-dlp to the depends array.

Thanks for maintaining!
