Who here has a Youtube-DL compile for WinXP?

i'll look in this thread here more often, to get a well maintained yt-dlp version for my classic XP and 7 environments.

Latest yt-dlp for XP is also uploaded to my GitHub repo.

Direct link:

https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp_x86_Windows-XP.zip

For Windows 7 you can also still use one from the official Release files, or one from the nightly builds.

The 64bit version (yt-dlp.exe) is built with Python 3.8.10 and the 32bit version (yt-dlp_x86.exe) is built with Python 3.7.9, so that one will work on Vista as well. However support for 3.7 wil probably be dropped soon...

Ah, I see. A non-SSE2 version.

I thought you meant the source was compatible with 3.4. :lol:

I like the idea of 32mb ffmpeg

... Do note, though , that this specific binary size pertains to native compilation under Linux:

On my main Linux system I compile FFmpeg myself (with the help of this guide, and without libaom, libsvtav1 and libvmaf).

Resulting binary: ~32MB.

Cross-compilation on Linux targeting WinXP will result in quite larger binaries, compared to the ones produced for native Linux usage... Even larger file sizes are being produced under native Windows FFmpeg compilation ...

The source itself, as far as I can tell, is still compatible.

... No, it's NOT (compatible with any CPython version < 3.7); you're just "cheating" , by running the "source" with a "community" recompiled/produced (see my previous reply to @Mark-XP here) CPython version 3.9 :

With Python 3.9.13 from here

which doesn't officially (as in by the PSF) support Windows < 8.1 (BTW, Python code doesn't target specific OS versions, only specific Python versions) ...

"The official yt-dlp binary has long ago abandoned..."

You added "binary" yourself, there ; I was referring to the yt-dlp source code, which should also cover all binaries compiled from it!

As I wrote already, the PSF EoL'ed Windows XP SP3 with CPython 2.7.18 and 3.4.10, none of which is currently supported by yt-dlp (source) code ; as I also wrote previously, the youtube-dl (source) code does still support both aforementioned CPython versions (and, thus, XP SP3); is now everything crystal clear? I hope so :lol: ...

Warmest (as in being under yet another heatwave here) greetings from Greece !

**Reino** · August 17, 2023

I guess I didn't even realize I was actually cheating. :lol:

You're right. I knew that 3.4.10 is the latest WinXP compatible release.

Not everything is crystal clear. What does PSF stand for?

(offtopic)

Today I cross-compiled ffmpeg-nonfree (both 32 and 64bit) with the script from here.

Took 5 hours. Sandbox directory 27.8GB. :yes:

Doesn't work on XP.

On Vista it gave:

On Windows 7 it worked.

File size of the 64bit version is ~116MB, but you have to take into account that a lot of libs are enabled:

... According to my tests (and records of them kept ), the FB related PR#7890 was already present in your py3.8 :

[debug] yt-dlp version nightly@2023.09.02 [2301b5c1b] (win_x86_exe)

previous build; while the "nightly@2023.08.31 [7237c8dca]" one did not include it ...

FWIW, this PR has now been officially merged into yt-dlp master branch:

Hi @nicolaasjan , hope you're doing great and that the Dutch weather hasn't turned very cold yet ...

In yt-dlp/commit/8a8b545 , PR #3668 was merged; this one adds an optional dependency to the requests python module, itself depending on the urllib3 python module; here's the latest yt-dlp requirements file:

mutagen
pycryptodomex
websockets
brotli; platform_python_implementation=='CPython'
brotlicffi; platform_python_implementation!='CPython'
certifi
requests>=2.31.0,<3
urllib3>=1.26.17,<3

The "official" yt-dlp_x86.exe file has those already bundled, e.g.:

[debug] yt-dlp version nightly@2023.10.15.085452 [4e38e2ae9] (win_x86_exe)
[debug] Python 3.7.9 (CPython x86 32bit) - Windows-Vista-6.0.6003-SP2 (OpenSSL 1.1.1g  21 Apr 2020)
[debug] exe versions: none
[debug] Optional libraries: Cryptodome-3.19.0, brotli-1.1.0, certifi-2023.07.22, mutagen-1.47.0, requests-2.31.0, sqlite3-3.31.1, urllib3-2.0.6, websockets-11.0.3

and so does the latest yt-dlp_x86.exe file you provided yourself :thumbup (compiled via GitHub Actions):

[debug] yt-dlp version nicolaasjan/yt-dlp@2023.10.14.034319 [8a8b54523] (win_x86_exe)

HOWEVER , the py3.8 based ,

[debug] yt-dlp version nightly@2023.10.14 [8a8b54523] (win_x86_exe)
[debug] Python 3.8.13+ (CPython x86 32bit) - Windows-Vista-6.0.6003-SP2 (OpenSSL 3.1.0-dev )

and py3.9 based,

[debug] yt-dlp version nightly@2023.10.14 [8a8b54523] (win_x86_exe)
[debug] Python 3.9.13 (CPython x86 32bit) - Windows-Vista-6.0.6003-SP2 (OpenSSL 3.1.0-dev )

latest offerings do NOT :no: ; as the official 32-bit yt-dlp builds will soon move to py3.8 , I'll have to rely more on your own py3.8/py3.9 builds (at least until I set up myself an environment to produce mine ); is it technically possible to add requests+urllib3 to those builds of yours ?

If adding these optional dependencies somehow fail to do their job, I'm not sure I'll implement them...

Could you test the build linked above, because I have no idea in which scenario to test this myself...

The Dutch weather turned to 6°C at the moment... 🙁
