[SOLVED] yt-dlp facebook issue

Post#1 by Rava » 17 Sep 2023, 20:58

I have the same issue as described here
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/7901

The solution should be this:
Replace your facebook.py file in "yt_dlp/extractor/" path with this fixed file https://github.com/ringus1/yt-dlp/blob/ ... acebook.py
My yt-dlp module only has these files:

Code: Select all

/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/yt-dlp
/var
/var/lib
/var/lib/pkgtools
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/yt-dlp-2023.07.06-noarch-1ncm
So no path "yt_dlp/extractor/"
How do I apply this fix to the porteus module based yt-dlp?
Cheers!
Yours Rava

As root run the following:

Code: Select all

yt-dlp --update-to nightly
After that you can use yt-dlp to download Facebook videos :)
