I'm sorry but this doesn't help or apply to Linux users. only Mac and Windows user specifically.

Had this exact same error on manjaro, the fix for me was copying over a system binary of yt-dlp like so

sudo pacman -S yt-dlp

cp /bin/yt-dlp ~/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix

its a total stopgap but it works now at least.

On Windows I fixed this, Downloading "youtube-dl.exe" from original repository, renaming to "yt-dlp.exe" and place in "open-video-downloader" folder. (I used portable version).

I just used powershell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp.exe -OutFile %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\youtube-dl-gui\resources\app.asar.unpacked\binaries\yt-dlp.exe" to download it and put it in the right folder on windows. The same on linux, just donwload yt-dlp and put it in the binairies fodler.

looks, there are a bunch of duplicates for this issue, which all have same or similar workaround - just depending on operating system: https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/387 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/389 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/390 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/392 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/413 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/414 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/418 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/431

would be great to clean up the issue list! please close the listed issues above

i fear, that this project might got abandoned by the author, see https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/407 are there other persons with rights to close issues - except the individual issue submitters?

Looks, the improved version 2.4.3 from https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui/releases does fix the issue. Tested on Windows and WSL. Thanks to @StefanLobbenmeier
