Important changes
- Beginning with this release, yt-dlp’s Python dependencies must be installed using the
default
group
If you’re installing yt-dlp with pip/pipx or requiring yt-dlp in your own Python project, you’ll need to specifyyt-dlp[default]
if you want to also install yt-dlp’s optional dependencies (which were previously included by default). Read more - The minimum required Python version has been raised to 3.9
Python 3.8 reached its end-of-life on 2024.10.07, and yt-dlp has now removed support for it. As an unfortunate side effect, the officialyt-dlp.exe
andyt-dlp_x86.exe
binaries are no longer supported on Windows 7. Read more
