Thanks for taking the time to submit a bug report! Please include the following information:

What operating system are you using?

If using MS Windows, are you using Windows 10, Windows 7, or something else?

Windows 10

What version of Tartube are you using?

In Tartube's main window, click Help > About

v2.4.093

What happens when you run Tartube from a terminal window?

**Does not work, since CMD

Many error messages are only visible in the terminal window. On MS Windows, this is how to do it:

• First, enable hidden folders on your system

• Then, run the application:

  C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Tartube\msys64\mingw64.exe

** Reason 1: not a valid windows application

• In this new window, type these commands to start Tartube:

  cd /home/user/tartube

  python3 tartube/tartube

###If your bug report is "I can't download this video", please provide a link to the video This will save a lot of time!

I updated to the latest version of Tartube, and it now won't download my channel. This is the specific error message:

ython3 youtube-dl --newline -i --datebefore 20180101 --dateafter 20160101 --hls-prefer-native --write-description --write-info-json --write-annotations --cookies S:/Talks Third/cookies.txt --write-thumbnail --output S:/Talks Third/YouTube 2018/%(title)s.%(ext)s --download-archive S:/Talks Third/YouTube 2018/ytdl-archive.txt https://www.youtube.com/c/talksatgoogle python3: can't open file 'C:\Users\Cliff Redeker\AppData\Local\Tartube\msys64\home\user\tartube\youtube-dl': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Thanks for your help. I've tried reinstalling the youtube-dl

youtube-dl is probably abandoned, you should be using yt-dlp. Select it in Edit > System preferences > Downloaders, then install it by clicking Operations > Update yt-dlp

Thanks, that seemed to help. (along with a complete uninstall/reinstall).

I wish there was a way to download the videos in "oldest first" order, as those are the ones most in danger of deletion (for my YT channel of interest). Right now, I can only do that by opening multiple sessions and limiting the search by year. I also don't think that Tartube is taking the most advantage of my gig ethernet downloads.

Cheers,

(These options will also work on channels)

Super helpful. The distinction of playlist == channel was lost on me. Carrying on!

Tartube distinguishes between a channel and a playlist because you clicked the "Add channel" or "Add playlist" button. But yt-dlp treats them the same.
