[SOLVED] MPV not working with YT due to outdated package

Since this morning several people seem to have had the same YT experience with MPV/youtube-dl.

When looking it up, upstream tells me that youtube-dl is outdated. The package has been flagged outdated about a week ago.

Should I contact the maintainer Jaroslav Lichtblau, or do something else?

Either wait for the new package, or rebuild it yourself.

A (temporary) solution is:

sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

Will see what the system tells me when the regular update arrives.

EDIT: Update has arrived uneventfully.

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

reverts the temporary fix.
