Elephant add-on: based on youtube-dl fork 112821

[meowcateatrat]

Currently using 1.0.15 and tried to update in FDM addons and it says no update found.
Tried from file and after allowing python I get "unknown error".

Hmm.. I did not understand what exactly went wrong on your side.
1. Uninstall 1.0.15.
2. 1.0.16 from github releases and install it.
3. Try to YouTube video. Now you should be able to see WEBM in the list of formats. And don't forget to update FDM to the latest 6.24 version first.

I removed 1.0.15 and installed 1.06(that I had saved) then updated and it worked. Thanks so much.

The 1.0.16 that I ed still said "unknown error"

What do you mean "unknown error"? On which stage does it happen? Works fine for me. Give me details. I can't tell you if it's bug of FDM/Elephant/yours xD

It happens when trying to install add-on from file from the Elephant menu. If no one else has had a problem it's probably on my end.

You can't install a new version of the add-on until you remove an old one. This is how FDM works. The only exclusion is when it's updating add-on on its own.

Got it. Thanks for the help and for making the add-on.

Youtube seems to be at it again. Started with WATCH HTML instead of the normal video name and now just says querying info endlessly.

I updated FDM and it fixed it.

Has the option to DL as WEBM gone away? I'm only able to DL as MP4 after updating.

I'm running the latest FDM and Elephant and .WEBM was showing as a DL option then poof now it's gone again. I think youtube changed something. Not a major biggie but sometimes WEBM can be much smaller to DL and I have slow internet.

Version 1.0.17. YT-DLP updated to Release 2024.08.06.

Will there be a fix for choosing the default language for the audio on Youtube videos? I'm starting to find more and more have non-English audio when ed with FDM but English if watched on Youtube or DLed with some other ers. This is a recent thing and is getting worse.

Is it possible to make a tempermonkey script to youtube videos via fdm and Elephant add-on?
when I put fdm:// before a URL I always get "Uned URL" error.

You should be able to paste the URL into FDM without the fdm://. I've never used it the way you are.
