Postby MovieGoer242 » Wed Feb 03, 2021 7:37 pm

Hello everyone. My issue is that when i install the latest SMplayer it tries to install youtube-dl but fails.This I believe is needed to stream videos on youtube among other things. Is there a fix for this? Can i install youtube-dl on SMplayer manually? Please Help!

You can download it from here: https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl.exe
Copy youtube-dl.exe in the "mpv" folder inside the smplayer installation folder.
