[SOLVED] Can't use youtube-dl while on zsh.
When i try to watch a youtube video by using youtube-dl + mpv it goes like this: zsh: no matches found: https://invidious.snopyta.org/video-urlthere
Same with youtube-dl when i try to simply download a video.
But it works fine on bash.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't use youtube-dl while on zsh.
Put the url in single quotes
youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HTCY4DDLoQ'
mpv 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HTCY4DDLoQ'Also consider switching to https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/yt-dlp/ because of https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/30119 (has no impact on the quoting requirement, the url triggers zsh's extended globbing features)

Prefix the call with noglob
CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck • AUR packages • Zsh and other configs
