Support for EJS is now implemented in yt-dlp master branch. https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2025.11.01.082330

Here is another test version, using the PR fork with EJS support (also works on Vista). Instead of Deno, Windows 7 (and Vista) users can install QuickJS.

I had to downgrade to PyInstaller 5.13.2, instead of using PyInstaller 6.16.0 for XP from 3dyd... I got a nasty error when launching the `onedir` build. yt-dlp said: [PYI-1228:ERROR] Failed to load Python DLL 'C:\bin\_internal\python311.dll'. LoadLibrary: Kan opgegeven procedure niet vinden. (can't find procedure) See Issue 2.

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

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.

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

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).

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 ...

Yes, I've already tested it and everything is working. 🙂 However, now the question is ; how long will yt-dlp on XP keep working?... 🤔 Soon, an external JavaScript runtime will be needed. Deno is out of the question on older systems and yt-dlp-getpot-jsi gave me errors on both Windows XP and Windows7 (see Issue 9 ).

No idea. My homebrew Python 3.14 Linux standalone executable is even 51.7MB. 😮 Almost 100MB unpacked in the /tmp folder.

Don't the standalone Linux builds work (they have newer Python embedded)? yt-dlp_linux or (for 32bit) my yt-dlp_linux_x86.

Yes, this is a known issue (#14680)... They are working hard to implement some sort of a fix. It could be a challenge to get Deno working on Windows 7, however. On Windows 7 64bit, I have Deno 1.27.0 working. But there are no 32bit builds (as far as I know)...

Working!
