That's no moon! It's a space station! Couldn't help myself, sorry. %)

Hello The standalone windows executable, file youtube-dl.exe (32-bit, filesize 7.59 MiB ) has been compiled with Python 3.4.4 modules, which, AFAIK, is the last XP compatible Python version, most certainly not the latest (3.6.6/3.7.0). On my Vista laptop, issuing "youtube-dl --version && youtube-dl -v" in the command prompt window, in my yt-dl installation directory, I get: 2018.09.01 [debug] System config: [] [debug] User config: [] [debug] Custom config: [] [debug] Command-line args: ['-v'] [debug] Encodings: locale cp1253, fs mbcs, out cp737, pref cp1253 [debug] youtube-dl version 2018.09.01 [debug] Python version 3.4.4 (CPython) - Windows-Vista-6.0.6002-SP2 [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg N-91152-g7c333dc6a7, ffprobe N-91152-g7c333dc6a7, p hantomjs 2.1.1, rtmpdump 2.4 [debug] Proxy map: {} Usage: youtube-dl [OPTIONS] URL [URL...] My assessment is based on https://python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using/windows.html#supported-versions While the latest release of the 3.4 branch is 3,4.9, every release after 3.4.4 has been made available only as source; the last XP compatible compiled installer is for 3.4.4, to be found here ... But even if/when in the future the yt-dl devs compile the standalone executable with non-XP compatible Python modules, all is not lost for XP users; yt-dl code has support for a variety of Python versions, methinks 2.6 to 3.7; so, an XP user can perform a full-blown Python installation on his/her system and then use the compiled zipped-executable version of yt-dl, file youtube-dl (size 1.62MB) on the GitHub Releases page... It can be invoked in the command line as python.exe youtube-dl [various yt-dl arguments] (you may have to use pip first to install additional python modules that yt-dl depends on, ones that do not come with the default (standard) installation on windows; but this is not a yt-dl support forum, ample info/help can be found on line already...) @Flame : While I spent 3 years on XP, I currently have no access to that OS (only to Vista SP2 32-bit + Win7 SP1 64-bit), so it would have been easier for you (... and me ) to get an answer to your query, had you kindly asked one of the many XP users that frequent this thread to test youtube-dl.exe for you (assuming you can't yourself...); but I didn't mind the challenge to answer it for you one single bit... Regards EDIT: @hotnuma beat me at posting, adding relevant information

https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/ It requires the Python interpreter (2.6, 2.7, or 3.2+), and it is not platform specific. It's a must-have, like ffmpeg or wget. Computing is like junk food nowadays but there's still a few very good programs and if an open source software is not compatible with you OS you have a chance to build it yourself and make it compatible again.

In your particular case @SRainharp I would disable Superfetch, but keep Prefetch. Vista was slow in relinquishing RAM used for cache to be available for applications. HOWEVER - do not disable the Superfetch service. Instead, go to the registry and change it there. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters Change EnableSuperfetch to "0". Now restart Vista. By the way, I don't charge "cache" for my advice (har hardy har har) :p ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've also rid of widgets, indexing (Windows Search Service) and Terminal Server. But remember, I vLite'd my installation DVD. I also run Ultimate, but mine probably runs just as well as Home Premium or something lesser. And I didn't want to worry about CPU or Aero restrictions on "junior" versions.

http://blog.k-tai-douga.com/ FFMPEG for Windows XP compatible LEGACY version (scroll down). There was some recent discussion here of FFMPEG free software. Added Later -- MSFN user CoRoNe replied with this source of WinXP FFMPEG builds: https://msfn.org/board/topic/177125-my-build-of-new-moon-temp-name-aka-pale-moon-for-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1154072 https://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/files/ffmpeg/?C=M;O=A

Why didn't you go for home premium or business? ultimate might add unneccesary stuff that might hog up a bit extra memory and processing, also you might want to get Windows 2008 Updates to be secure incase you're going to be using the internet for browsing or watching videos or anything related , although dont get the Spectre Updates if you decide to get the updates , it cuts around 25-30% cpu speed and considering you're already on 1.6ghz you wouldn't want that, It might a bit offtopic to what you asked but just a suggestion

... Nothing of this sort here... Trying a non-protected, non-music video like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6M_vYUUx20 I can fetch without issues: I was curious to try a "protected" music video from VEVO, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BilaShsQphM Even HD versions are available to download, provided I first select them in YT's embedded player (quality settings) Those MKV files contain VP9/opus encodes; if you are instead after a 720p MP4 file encoded in h264/aac, then you first have to disable (temporarily) Media Source Extensions (MSE) in NM28's settings Options -> Content tab -> Video -> uncheck MSE so that YT serves you that type of stream: If you're that interested in YT content, I'd recommend a specialised tool (not a browser plugin) like the constantly updated CLI app youtube-dl, if you're willing, that is, to work in the Windows Command Prompt... You should've created a separate support post and let @roytam1 know about this issue; needless to say, you should PM him log-in credentials too, if any hope of debugging this... Moonchilld have EOL'd Tycho (PM27), so 0 chances they address this now...

I believe the problem is Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), not SHA2. As you know, the latest Crypt32.dll/SChannel.dll updates support SHA2, AES, and even TLS 1.2. But they still rely on the traditional RSA public-key algorithm to turn SHA2 hashes into digital signatures, and many new certificates use the ECC algorithm instead.
