You should "localize" the updates, not rely on anything outside of your own computer. For my XP x64, I use a guide from either RyanVM or WinCert, I'd have to hunt it down. You create the updated install disk and NEVER HAVE TO VISIT WINDOWS UPDATE, it's already updated AT INSTALL. Or use something like this - https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/ryanvms_windows_xp_post_sp2_update_pack.html If you insist on using Windows Update, this might work - https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/tweaking_com_repair_windows_updates.html You may be better served with something like this - https://archive.org/details/en-windows-xp-professional-x-64-fully-updated_202201

Hello I have Windows XP x64 bit edition with SP2 installed and I installed the required prerequisites for Microsoft update v6 restored but am getting this error after it says checking if your computer has the latest version of the Windows updating software for use with this website

I have no issues adding things to the PATH. Everything needed goes in `C:\Bin`. So, on XP my PATH looks like this: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Bin;C:\Python311;C:\Python311\Scripts

Which is where I pointed people to in my previous post : So, does the latest QJS (32-bit) launch on WinXP SP3? FWIW, I don't like adding stuff to PATH unless I can't do otherwise; placing the qjs.exe (with its DLL dependency) adjacent to the yt-dlp_x86.exe binary was all it took here ... And a slight word of caution: Of the four external JS runtimes supported by yt-dlp, QJS is the least secure one ; it has no sandbox, needs to write to the host machine's TEMP dir and is subject to some exploits related to Temp files: https://github.com/coletdjnz/yt-dlp-wiki-dev/blob/ejs/EJS.md#notes-3 Myself, I'd ONLY invoke it from the cmdline when I need to use YT, not permanently enable it via a config setting; call me paranoid ... Kind regards.

Here is a test binary of yt-dlp for Windows XP: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/nltccona7wcnn3otd2ek2/yt-dlp_XP_test.7z?rlkey=8t2m3esh9hy671bkp1wg0xq6a Install Quickjs in your PATH and add `--js-runtimes quickjs` to your config.

it sounds a bit weird to me to be a "hp-printer problem/support forum" or something like "xp support channel from microsoft" but well from what i remember the 128 GB ram patch had a problem with the USB, this was because the ntoskrnl, hal maybe other files was taken from windows vista or windows 2003 server then a USB problem apeared a very common problem with a such method (taken files from a different OS/version) is that it can cause problem - it can be functional, it can be non functional or it can be partly functional so you should look if you use a kernel extender, a certain .iso you can do this by looking the files too look for the usb drivers (not the ones from the HP company) they have names like usbhub.sys ect. (usb*.sys) if you see a version of 6.0 or 5.2 (right click info/version) - your XP uses that 128 GB patch here is a such problem (this one was fixed by using a newer version): https://msfn.org/board/topic/185916-audio-not-working-on-windows-xp-x64-surface-pro-1/#comment-1282549 the usb problem of that 128 GB patch talked about: https://msfn.org/board/topic/176356-simple-xp-32bit-64gb-ram-true-pae-guide/page/2/ its something that should be sorted out of the problem list if you just have the 128 GB patch then you just need to place the usb files

My bad. I took the wrong one. Go here. Now it took 9 seconds to calculate. 😀️

... Indeed ; I still keep an old (2018) version of MABS on an external disk, I used that to "strip" the DLL, $ cd ~ $ strip "libfdk-aac-2.dll" and filesize was reduced from 2.11 MiB to 1.73 MiB (but still larger than the 1.34 MiB of the "xpmod-P4" variety ) ...

Also, several HP support forums suggest that most anti-virus programs seem to be okay. But that MALWARE SOFTWARE (ie, Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, Avast One Essential, ESET Essential, Emisoft) are known to cause printing delays.

Try disabling "bi-directional printer support".

You're right. I should have read the Wiki first. Here is an updated build with quickjs support and EJS bundled. However, quickjs isn't that quick... It took 28 minutes to figure out `yt-dlp -F URL` (in the meantime using a lot of memory and CPU).

Either libfdk-aac library should work fine on Vista. The Windows 7 version was compiled with GCC 15 but it looks like I neglected to strip the file so it is larger than it needs to be. I will link a corrected file next time. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Tried a few things. Booting to Mint, it detected and set up the printer by itself and I could print a page within 2 seconds. So, the cabling and hardware is all good. Back in XP, tried to print again. It took about 4 minutes, the status panel kept going to "receiving data" to "processing data" over and over. Looking at the print queue, (screenshot) I see that the print file is 276 kB, and after 3 minutes it has only sent 256 kB. I don't know why it stalls or finally gets over the hump, but it does, and the page looks perfect. So the drivers are good. I have never used a USB printer on XP before, (plenty of other USB devices) so I suspect that is the issue. Should it really be "Generic IEEE 1284.4 printing support"?

1. This one does launch OK under Vista SP2 32-bit . 2. Instead of the cmdline flag/config setting "--remote-components ejs:github" you could've built the PyInstaller binary with the EJS components bundled, as will upstream do : https://github.com/coletdjnz/yt-dlp-wiki-dev/blob/ejs/EJS.md#step-2-install-ejs-challenge-solver-scripts You can install them via PyPI prior to PyInst compilation: python -m pip install -U yt-dlp-ejs and, hopefully, they'll be integrated into the produced executable, just like the rest of the default Python modules... 3. " --remote-components ejs:npm" applies ONLY to deno/bun, NOT to node used on Win7 : https://github.com/coletdjnz/yt-dlp-wiki-dev/blob/ejs/EJS.md#option-2-enable-ejs-script-downloads-from-npm 4. At the time the binary was compiled, quickjs support hadn't yet arrived, thus: yt-dlp_x86 --ies youtube -vF "yrcIdXBwVww" --remote-components ejs:github --js-runtimes quickjs => ...

Most sadly, this is only part of the story ; probing the v20.19.2 (32-bit) binary (a whooping 61.3 MiB in filesize) with DependencyWalker, I found a total of six (6) Vista-incompatible function calls: in advapi32.dll: EventSetInformation in kernel32.dll: K32GetModuleBaseNameW K32GetProcessMemoryInfo ResolveLocaleName TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive TryAcquireSRWLockShared The first one can also be a thing on a partially updated Win7 SP1 install (see this); thank you for already raising a Vista-support issue with Vladimir ...

When tested if this Node version would work on Vista, I got this: The procedure entry point EventSetInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll

I tested the soon to be merged PR #14157 and it is already working. On Windows 7 Deno can't be used, but there is a Node.js fork that can do the same job. I used node-v20.19.2-win-x86.zip and extracted it to `C:\Bin\node` (add this to the PATH). Then compiled yt-dlp_x86 for Windows 7 from: https://github.com/Grub4K/yt-dlp/tree/feat/jsc-deno Added to the config file: --remote-components ejs:github --js-runtimes node --remote-components ejs:npm yt-dlp -F URL now gives lots of formats: [debug] Command-line config: ['-v', '-F', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XofX6d-z-w'] [debug] User config "C:\Users\Nico\AppData\Roaming\yt-dlp\config.txt": ['--rm-cache-dir', '--console-title', '-o', '~/Desktop/%(title)s.%(ext)s', '--remote-components', 'ejs:github', '--js-runtimes', 'node', '--remote-components', 'ejs:npm', '--embed-thumbnail', '--add-metadata', '--convert-thumbnails', 'jpg', '--ppa', 'ffmpeg:-metadata synopsis=""', '--force-ipv4', '--sponsorblock-remove', 'all'] [debug] Encodings: locale cp1252, fs utf-8, pref cp1252, out cp1252 (No ANSI), error cp1252 (No ANSI), screen cp1252 (No ANSI) [debug] yt-dlp version local@2025.10.26 [a36fa2e26] (win_x86_exe) [debug] Python 3.14.0 (CPython AMD64 32bit) - Windows-10-10.0.19044-SP0 (OpenSSL 3.0.18 30 Sep 2025) [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg git-2025-10-19-dc39a57-ffmpeg-windows-build-helpers (fdk,setts), ffprobe git-2025-10-19-dc39a57-ffmpeg-windows-build-helpers [debug] Optional libraries: Cryptodome-3.23.0, brotli-1.1.0, certifi-2025.10.05, mutagen-1.47.0, requests-2.32.5, sqlite3-3.50.4, urllib3-2.5.0, websockets-15.0.1 [debug] JS runtimes: node-20.19.2 [debug] Proxy map: {} [debug] Request Handlers: urllib, requests, websockets [debug] Plugin directories: none [debug] Loaded 1839 extractors Removing cache dir C:\Users\Nico/.cache\yt-dlp ...

So it seems to work again without resorting to the Safari HLS method despite showing an error "nsig extraction failed". It downloads anyway and in h.264 not in VP9. One positive from the Safari method is that it yields one video+audio file instead of two.

Some additional details : --enable-cuda --enable-cuvid --enable-nvenc --enable-nvdec I only have an Intel iGPU which H/W decodes MPEG-2 only, no external NVIDIA gfx card either, so I couldn't possibly use those inside FFmpeg ... --enable-mediafoundation Despite Vista SP2+Platform Update Supplement (PUS) having a working form of WMF, backported from Win7 and installed as a MS Update, I've found, via using other FFmpeg builds with that flag enabled, that I can't use the WMF encoders (h264/aac) in FFmpeg for transcoding purposes; probably this specific flag requires a Win7+ OS, where the WMF feature is fully matured ... --enable-d3d12va --enable-vulkan AFAIK, these both are not compatible with/offered on Vista SP2... --enable-libvpx --enable-libkvazaar --enable-libxavs --enable-libdav1d --enable-libaom --enable-librav1e I don't see myself using the encoder part of those video codecs on this specific, under-resourced, "vintage" 32-bit machine ; however, if the decoder part of any of them can't be substituted with a native FFmpeg implementation, then, I guess, it should stay (?) ... --enable-libmysofa Well. in RL scenarios I haven't had the need myself to use SOFA files with HRTF content, however, since this is related to acoustics (audio) and assuming it doesn't add much to binary filesize, I guess it can stay enabled/included after all ... Please, keep it enabled ; the native AAC encoder isn't fully, yet, on par with the Fraunhofer one (and, correct me if wrong, doesn't allow for HE-AACv1/v2 transcoding profiles); BTW, below: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/414767-ffmpeg-7-0-1-and-Windows-7/page2#post2771491 I'm seeing archive "libfdk-aac-v2.0.3-158-gd8e6b1a-x86.7z" intended for Win7SP1_x86; this one affords a DLL much larger (2.10 MiB) than the DLL extracted from archive "libfdk-aac-2.0.3-158-d8e6b1a-win32-xpmod-P4.7z" (1.33 MiB) ; I've probed the former with DepWalker and it appears to be Vista-compatible, though I haven't yet used it in an audio transcoding job... In closing, I'm not the sole Vista user around here and if your Vista-compat FFmpeg offerings are to benefit a broader Vista+ community, then you can still include any external lib you see fit - I initially only requested a shared_x86 compile, my wish has been granted and I'm extremely grateful to you ! Kindest regards .

I can... But you will not like the answer or you will think that I am being sarcastic. The answer is "supply and demand". If people are paying it, then why would the developer stop accepting the "fee"? Demand dictates a fee. If nobody is paying it, then the project will either cease to exist or the cost will decrease or the project will get split into a reduced-function "free version" and a full-function "paid version". Or ultimately some balance in the middle. Or I could call the answer "greed", but one person's "excess" is another person's "minimalism".

Can anyone explain why this program costs $5/month? is it because it's still in development or what?
