That looks like it does not use the program, but the python module
directly. You could try if symlinking
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/yt_dlp to
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/youtube_dl helps. Replace python3.9
with your version of course.
If that works, please file a bug on bugs.gentoo.org.
Anyone know how to make gPodder use yt-dlp?
Do I simply need a link that sends youtube_dl to yt-dlp?
yt-dlp already installs a wrapper script in /usr/bin/youtube-dl.
Kind regards, tastytea
I created the symlink as you instructed and it appears to be working.
When I enable use of youtube-dl in gPodder I get no error messages. I
just added a youtube feed and am downloading some videos.
Thanks for the assistance.
Hm, slightly surprised it works. I've had a poorer experience with
symlinking the python module (not fully compatible). I considered
having the ebuild do it but ultimately skipped that.
However, if you say it works I think I'll have a 2nd look a bit later.
It's fairly harmless to add either way.
(I picked up maintaining yt-dlp in ::gentoo recently)
In regards to filing a bug - I'm unclear exactly what the bug is. Is
the bug the fact that gPodder will not use yt-dlp in place of youtube-dl
without your work-around?
gpodder's upstream already has a bug report to use yt-dlp
Mentioned bugs.gentoo.org, so imagine the idea was that gentoo's ebuild
could add the symlink. I got the message anyhow so can skip the bug.
Update on what's happening with this - now it's not behaving nicely.
I'm not sure what has changed.
With use Youtube-dl enabled updating the feeds is very slow.
I get this error message under each non-YouTube feed in the main window:
ERROR: 'str' object has no attriubte 'suitable'
And I get this for each feed in my log file:

All non YouTube files fail to download. For each file I get the error:

When I disable using Youtube-dl the non-YouTube files download without
problem.
The work around is simply to turn off 'use Youtube-dl' to download podcasts.
I just wanted to get this information out to you.
