You tube downloader is not up to date in pacman. It says the latest version is 2025.09.05-1 which doesn’t work in Youtube anymore. Github says the latest version is 2025.09.26 which I just downloaded and confirmed that it works. Any idea when pacman will have the latest version available for down…

The more recent version of yt-dlp has made its way to Testing branch, but it looks like it just missed out on being included in the last Stable update (2025-09-26): mbn info yt-dlp -q | grep -Ev 'Name|Repository|Packager' Branch : archlinux Version : 2025.09.26-1 Build Date : Sat…

Thank you. I just got an update today for this via add/remove software. Just wanted to let anyone else know that the update is now available.
