I recently upgraded to nodejs22,but it didn’t take long before I encountered the problem of not being able to upload youtube videos via url, so I tried rolling back the nodejs version but it didn’t solve the problem, the current version of peertube is 6.0.4

Hi,

It’s not related to NodeJS but to the tool we use to import youtube videos: GitHub - yt-dlp/yt-dlp: A feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader

Maybe a temporary issue

Yes thanks for the reply, I would like to try to upgrade the tool but I found out that he is built in peertube and I don’t seem to be able to upgrade him directly, is there another way to do it?

You can delete yt-dlp binary from storage/bin, PeerTube will automatically download the latest version (based on PeerTube/config/production.yaml.example at develop · Chocobozzz/PeerTube · GitHub)

Otherwise just wait a day, PeerTube automatically upgrades the binary

I’ve upgraded yt-dlp as per the official command, but it seems that the problem is still not solved!

Then I suggest to open an issue on GitHub - yt-dlp/yt-dlp: A feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader

Is the video public? Is there any age restriction on the video? The log in your first message suggest that the tools get a youtube login page. Maybe the video needs to be logged-in to be watched?
