So far, the xp_activate32.exe program supports Windows XP Home Edition and Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 Enterprise. [Edit] I'm not sure about that. Others claim it worked on Pro.

That's about it at the moment. (I mentioned the others in this GitHub comment)

It was indeed compiled from d1c6c5c, but on May 21 (manually edited 'version.py'). Today, I just uploaded version 2023.05.23, built from a19855f, to avoid any further confusion.

Does that also mean you will stop providing FFmpeg builds for XP? On the other hand, if that PC is powerful enough, you can run XP in a virtual machine.

Yt-dlp (stable, from 2023.03.04...) is in .\Lib\site-packages\yt_dlp. Open CMD in that directory and run: python __main__.py "URL" (Python directory must be in your PATH) But there have already been many changes since that last release.

See: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#related-scripts I know, but I put the link here anyway for others to test. Indeed. I'm amazed he still manages to cope with the hundreds of duplicate issues.

What makes you think that? There are still occasional commits and building from source still works. As far as I now, there are no signs of that yet. Though some issues have to be addressed in regard to GitHub building of new releases.

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).

I'm so sorry. Fixed now. The youtube-dl link now points to the "Lazy Extractors" build.

Just FYI; FFmpeg for Windows XP (from @Reino) has been updated to version 6.1. ffmpeg-6.1-588-4006c71-win32-static-xpmod-sse.7z

I only searched in this topic...

Unfortunately uBlock Origin 1.46.0 is the last compatible version (MyPal 68.13.0b).

Yes, it is now 2023 and it's very unlikely that Windows XP will ever get any updates that may rely on contents in that folder. So I deleted the entire contents (1.6GB), after having made a backup with 7Zip.

It was eMatrix. Had to turn it off in 'about:addons' for VirusTotal upload to work (albeit with very choppy scrolling ). Offtopic: cmalex managed to make a Python 3.9 build for Windows XP at your request. Yt-dlp builds fine with it on XP and it also works on Vista. I'll wait for a while to release it.

Well, here upload on VirusTotal didn't work (NM28 - 2023-03-24). Palefill disabled. dom.getRootNode.enabled ---> true (=default) dom.webcomponents.enabled ---> true (=default) Got an endless recaptcha loop...

Tried to check this in New Moon, but now the timestamp is 1 hour, so I' ll have to wait another hour to confirm this behaviour.

No, I was not referring to compiling psutils, but compiling yt-dlp (missing 'pyconfig.h'). I looked again now inside your Mega archive and only now saw it in './PythonXP/Dev/Python3.8_dev_ddfdeced29.7z/include/'. But, as I said above:

Now I see why you have way more scripts from support.microsoft.com and other stuff at the top. You don't have "Resolve CNAME records" checked in eMatrix.

Well, I troubleshooted it with the help of eMatrix. It appears there are 2 scripts from 'support.microsoft.com' that can be blocked (no idea what impact that has on functionality). [Edit] Checked a while later and there was only 1 script (according to eMatrix)... But checking uBOs logger, I see a lot of scripts from support.microsoft.com/js/*. Blocking all of these in uBO ---> page not functioning. Conclusion: I'm no good at troubleshooting either.

Well, there is brotli, which is not included in your release (I guess it's compatible). See requirements.txt.

Well, there is mine. https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp_x86_Windows-XP.zip (manually uploaded; not part of the GitHub CI workflow) That said, I ran into the same problems as you did. Grabbed 'pyconfig.h' from a Py3.7 install and didn't have to change anything in it (there were no errors any more while compiling). Disclaimer: I'm not a programmer.

Good to hear that more people are able to make it work on older OS's, so that it won't be discontinued when I'm gone. That said, why version 2023.02.17? That was before a fix for a new throttling issue (see here). Also, you could make it start faster, when enabling "Lazy loading extractors" before compile from master: python devscripts/update-version.py python devscripts/make_lazy_extractors.py python pyinst.py

(never saw this offered before though) If I request -f bestaudio -x, I get the non DRC variant (larger file size; 5246788 bytes vs 5203567 bytes opus audio). In this case the non DRC one. If you want the DRC one, you'll have to pass -f 140-drc.

The old version of Decentraleyes doesn't do much any more, I'm afraid. Script assets are outdated. Version 1.4.3 Updated on April 19, 2021 Actively maintained WE alternative: LocalCDN. No idea if it will work on Basilisk... Didn't install on Basilisk.
