[Bug 1400445] Re: Recommend of youtube-dl is questionable
Well when this bug was filed (2+ years ago) youtube-dl would not install if another version was present in different location. So that doesn't seem to be the case anymore & the eventual breakage isn't anything that affects me nor any users of the ppa mpv where a desktop action provides needed info to aquire the upstream youtube-dl So in that case will mark invalid. ** Changed in: mpv (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: youtube-dl (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400445 Title: Recommend of youtube-dl is questionable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpv/+bug/1400445/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1400445] Re: Recommend of youtube-dl is questionable
I'm not particularly swayed by the arguments to remove the Recommends from the Debian package. I don't think the Recommends of youtube-dl are excessive. mplayer2 is no longer recommended. The other recommends are needed to download media from certain sites. "So there is no dispute that ytdl is quite useful for mpv, only that users should likely acquire & update ytdl on their own from the site." One of the main points of a distribution is so that users _do not_ have to do this. Why does mpv recommending youtube-dl prevent them from updating it themselves if they want to? By having youtube-dl installed, mpv will even print a nice message telling them how to update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400445 Title: Recommend of youtube-dl is questionable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpv/+bug/1400445/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1400445] Re: Recommend of youtube-dl is questionable
I wouldn't call it needed for proper operation of mpv, it's only needed for online streams that can't be played directly or directly in linux in a standalone player. So in that case many sites where it's needed change things up regularly & ytdl has to adjust to match. Unfortunately the packaged version of ytdl is not updated quickly or often enough & playback on some sites will break, youtube is a prime example, especially vemo vids. So there is no dispute that ytdl is quite useful for mpv, only that users should likely acquire & update ytdl on their own from the site. To that end it would be better if ytdl was not already installed, though not a deal breaker if it is.. I'd make it a suggest or point to using upstream in the package (mpv) description if such is allowed https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400445 Title: Recommend of youtube-dl is questionable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpv/+bug/1400445/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The recommends of mpv onto youtube-dl is not a bug from what i can see, as it is needed for proper operation of mpv, contact upstream if that's an issue.
