Indeed, the provided link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/77c6ftwujel4v7l/yt-dlp_x86_Windows-XP.zip isn't valid ; obviously, something must've gone awry there... Try below links, which I have archived locally (and it turns out it was a good idea to do so ): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/f2q5v92qgq0fawp/youtube-dl.zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xmrpypozf7wf9us/youtube-dl_20230430.zip The second link will fetch a yt-dl build with (experimental) "Lazy Extractors" support turned ON, specifically for older H/W; you should definitely try it (both links were provided initially by nicolaas, the second one via his GitHub account) !

With one little difference though compared to my previous release. Thanks for mentioning. Btw, your youtube-dl url in your sig is first of all dead, but also links to a yt-dlp archive. If I may be so bold (and a bit off-topic)... One day will come when yt-dlp loses compatible with WinXP, while at the same time youtube-dl won't be updated anymore. For WinXP users with old hardware an alternative could then be my own simple Youtube-extractor, which is part of an XQuery function module for the command-line tool Xidel (an XML/HTML/JSON parser). It's a simple extractor, in the sense that it doesn't support age-gated-videos. You'd still need youtube-dl for that. But for "normal" videos it works absolutely fine and because it doesn't depend on Python it's multitudes faster (on my old system). The extractor uses the Android API call, which means there's no bandwidth-throttling or a need to decrypt a signature. The most basic call for this Youtube video would be... xidel.exe -s --module=xivid.xqm -e "xivid:youtube('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppojLHm-Z1I')" xidel.exe -s --module=xivid.xqm -e "xivid:youtube('ppojLHm-Z1I')" ...which returns a JSON with all the different audio- and video formats. My old computer is too slow to watch Youtube videos in-browser, so personally I use the following command A LOT to directly watch a Youtube video (the itag 22 variant in this case) with Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (utilizing the gpu instead of the cpu): FOR /F "delims=" %A IN (' xidel -s --module=xivid.xqm -e "xivid:youtube('ppojLHm-Z1I')/(formats)()[starts-with(id,'pg')][last()]/url" ') DO @"C:\Program Files\Media\MPC-HC.1.7.11.24.x86\mpc-hc.exe" %A /close

Patch Integrator v2.3.4 is very old version from September 2020. Try the latest one (v3.4.6)

For my current build, made with Python 3.8, that will be 14 Oct 2024 (if Pukkandan decides to pull the plug on that same date). Fortunately @cmalex has provided a Python 3.9 build for XP (see this post). Supported till 05 Oct 2025. https://endoflife.date/python Hopefully later builds will be provided in the future. In the near future I will provide yt-dlp builds made with Py3.9 (here is a test build).

Define is now defined? Fine!

Just writing in to let everyone know I’m not going to be as active here as I was in the past. I know it’s not on-topic but since this thread is more than likely going to be closed and deleted anyway, I thought this would be a good opportunity to speak up without drawing too much attention to myself. I’ve had a nice time talking to users here but haven’t had much to contribute other than words of encouragement. It seems this forum prizes and values those who actually know how to program/code, and I definitely don’t fall into that category. I had been a lurker for years but joined in 2021 to comment on the Feodor/Tobin situation with Mypal. Since then I don’t think I’ve had much of value to add to the discourse, and the way I see it this is a forum better left to far smarter individuals. I certainly don’t want to annoy the moderators, who have better things to do with their time than read my drivel. Indeed, it is a difficult task to keep things on-topic, and as I fell in love with this site because of all of the valuable information it provides, the last thing I would ever want to do is sully those waters with posts that are less than useful. So much has changed, but this is still my go-to site when I want to learn about what’s happening on the tech enthusiast front. I am glad I got to know what it feels like to post and to be met with varying degrees of kindness, and responses from people who know far more than I will ever, ever know about this sort of thing. Of course, I may return in the future, if I have something of value or interest to share. For now, I’ll go back to lurking, just as I was doing for so many years beforehand. To those who have been nice to me, I appreciate it more than you will ever know. To everyone who is making an effort to develop/maintain software that keeps old operating systems useful, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. To the moderators, thank you for striving to maintain law and order here. May you do your best to hold up MSFN’s legendary reputation. Take care, everyone…I wish you all peace.

Try the March 6 build. It's more stable than the March 9 build.

It depends on your preference. I personally have not updated my PC at home yet, although my laptop is on it just because I upgraded it at some point. I haven't bothered to downgrade it at all. So it is really up to you, if you think the changes are something you can get used to, or if you'd prefer to find other options.
