I've downloaded Open Video Downloader which is a gui to youtube-dl (which is kinda dead)
I've replaced it with yt-dlp
(youtube-dl fork which is working)
My problem is that yt-dlp
needs python 3.7+ to work.
When OpenVideoDownloader spawns /home/myuser/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix
, I get an error regarding this, because I've set Python 2.7 as default in my Ubuntu 20.04
I've installed python3.9 and running this on bash works:
/usr/bin/python3.9 /home/myuser/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceiyvKwpRRo*
So, how could I replace /home/myuser/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix
with another executable/batch/alias that really calls /usr/bin/python3.9 /home/myuser/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix
(with all the parameters given) so OpenVideoDownloader can spawn it and work fine?
All this because I've read if I set python3.9 as default I may break my Ubuntu install, etc.
Thanks for any idea
/home/myuser/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix
and change#!/usr/bin/python
to#!/usr/bin/python3.9
?
