Who here has a Youtube-DL compile for WinXP?

Maybe a late update doesn't count. Demetrius2003 expects that the system will be bricked with this update. That is why I never install updates unless they fix a specific problem and don't touch other areas. Just extracting advapi32.dll from it is not enough.

... But he specifically mentions pirated Win7 versions prone to such "bricking"   :

This phenomenon is observed everywhere on pirated versions, of which there are most in the country.
Unfortunately, it has been tested on many systems. It may work for licensed ones,

Hello @Reino! Is there already a new address for your great releases? 🤔

Yes. https://reino.synology.me/ should work for now.

I don't have the space to leave all previous builds in place.  I could do something like this:

https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-win32-XP-shared-latest.7z

https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-win32-XP-static-latest.7z

Two additional archives with a static name that would always match the latest uploaded version.

I have tested your releases. ffplay is only working under Windows XP in your package ffmpeg-8.1-1643-abb1524138-win32-shared-xpmod-P4.7z but not in ffmpeg-8.2-1568-b355200263-win32-shared-xpmod-P4.7z. I compared some file sizes and noticed that your avcodec-62.dll was reduced from 65.668.622 Bytes to only 18.681.870 Bytes. I think there is a lot missing.
