Youtube downloads

In Debian Buster (now oldstable) I only see 2019.01.17 available:

$ apt list | grep youtube-dl
youtube-dl/oldstable 2019.01.17-1.1 all
$ 

Same in PureOS 9:

$ apt list | grep youtube-dl
youtube-dl/amber 2019.01.17-1.1 all
$ 

So in PureOS I had to do a manual install way back in 2018, according to the instructions at https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html

Debian Bullseye does have the latest:

$ apt list | grep youtube-dl
youtube-dl/testing 2021.06.06-1 all
$

@joao.azevedo Now I did :slight_smile:
I’m proud to say I didn’t have to fix anything in the script.
However, I updated the installation steps.
The desktop file had a minor syntax bug, the icon did not exist on the L5, and of course it was not listed as adaptive… all fixed now.

I cheated a bit and installed goodies directly from landing, so I could even take screenshots. :tada:
