Hey  yo!

So  I  have  Pontes  Media  Downloader.  But  it  won't  work.

I  also   have the  YT-DLP  library.  How  would  I  replace  the  current  Youtube-DL  downloader with the new  YT-DLP thing  so  Pontes  will work again?

Thanks.

Ppontes went insanely slow for me in recent months, so I stopped using it and just used online converters instead.

I'd recommend Foobar2000. Much more solid Youtube DL support overall, plus the Youtube source plugin is constantly getting updates to fix Youtube updates breaking things.

Fubar2000 is a  bitch to set up,  from what I  remember.

If  you could give  me a step-by-step  guide  on how exactly  you managed  to  download  Youtube videos using Fubar,  I'd  appreciate it as I  have  tried before. Like I said, a bitch to set up.

Thanks.

ensure you have the very latest binary from this permanent link add it to bookmarks.
go to the folder where pontes is installed, like %programFiles(X86)%\pontes Tools\pontes media downloader
Then go inside the folder named engine, and then rename the file called youtube-dl.exe to something like old-youtube-dl.exe. Once you do that, copy and paste  yt-dlp.exe and rename it to youtube-dl.exe
and that is it.

Will this automatically be updated just like the old YouTube DL?

that never updates automatically unless you check the options menu and tell it to update download engine. Though I am afraid if you go that route, the regular youtube Dl will be updated which means that you risk the replacement, that is why I recommend you add the link to bookmarks and check every so often
