"Error! Unhandled error (execa)." Error On OSX

Hi guys,

It seems that ever link I throw at YT-DL-GUI gives me the same error.

{ "shortMessage": "Command failed with exit code 127: /Applications/Open Video Downloader.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/binaries/yt-dlp-unix -J --flat-playlist --no-cache-dir --ignore-config --user-agent Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/88.0.4324.192 Safari/537.36 --no-check-certificate --yes-playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K04xw_ZddQ", "command": "/Applications/Open Video Downloader.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/binaries/yt-dlp-unix -J --flat-playlist --no-cache-dir --ignore-config --user-agent Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/88.0.4324.192 Safari/537.36 --no-check-certificate --yes-playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K04xw_ZddQ", "exitCode": 127, "stdout": "", "stderr": "env: python3: No such file or directory", "failed": true, "timedOut": false, "isCanceled": false, "killed": false }

Does anyone know how this can be solved?

I get the same error wehn using Open Video Downloader on Windows 10. (portable did allways crash on first startup, after downloading, when extracting the library, so i used the installer) System: Windows 10 Pro, AMD 5900X, 64GB Ram, GTX 3070, doesnt matter which link, i allways get the error.

Full error message: why ever, I am not allowed to copy the Full error message out of the message window, so here the picture:

seems yt-dlp is not installed in your host. You can try to download yt-dlp then link it to ~/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix.

Same issue here, running 2.4.0 on Manjaro.

Followed Karfield's advice and managed to fix it!

I uninstalled the version of YT-DLP that I had already, and installed it again using the following commands:

sudo curl -L https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -o /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

Then opened YT-DL-GUI and worked (Sorta) got an error because of my FFMPEG installation, but Im in the process of fixing that at the moment.

Hopefully this works for you guys!
