@Neumo That is part of yt-dlp-ejs, maybe I should change it to a hard dep like the repos did, so people will stop being confused...

Neumo commented on 2026-03-12 09:10 (UTC)

yt-dlp now requires a JavaScript runtime to solve the EJS challenge to function correctly with YouTube. It would be helpful to update the optdepends to include the supported JS runtimes.

'deno: recommended runtime for YouTube JS challenges'
'nodejs: alternative runtime for YouTube JS challenges'
'bun: alternative runtime for YouTube JS challenges'
'quickjs: alternative runtime for YouTube JS challenges'

@bill88t What exactly fails? The package builds just fine here in a chroot.

bill88t commented on 2026-02-11 05:32 (UTC)

Please add python-curl_cffi in checkdepends, it now fails without it.

katt commented on 2026-01-24 20:31 (UTC)

@gesh Thanks for the heads up, fixed.

gesh commented on 2026-01-24 20:14 (UTC)

Just noticed

pytest -v -Werror -m "not download" -k 'not Websockets' # revert when extra/python-websockets updates to 13

but extra/python-websockets is now at 16? Testing, it works with the tests enabled, so I don't see why they're still disabled.

@Nebulosa I was waiting for yt-dlp to gain support for curl_cffi 0.14, but I see it has been added now.

Nebulosa commented on 2026-01-22 15:48 (UTC)

Please update dependency to [extra] python-curl_cffi, AUR package (python-curl-cffi) will be delete soon.

I'm double retarded, it's not broken, a partial update broke it. And I saw the old date on this package and assumed it was a git snapshot of that date.

Sorry for the noise.

katt commented on 2026-01-12 20:58 (UTC)

@JThundley This is a VCS package, you're supposed to update it yourself.
