Huh? The most recent commit is from yesterday.
The comment "I cant download anything of YouTube atm and they havent updated in a month" suggests some incredibly unfair and unrealistic expectations on the part of the maintainers of this free software.
- jcranmer 6y agohttps://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/graphs/commit-activity https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/graphs/commit-activit... actually suggests that something did happen ~10 weeks ago, with about as many commits since then as there was in an average week before then.
- eli 6y agoI don't find this compelling evidence that the project is "dying" and it's obviously not "unmaintained." youtube-dl has a very permissive license if someone else thinks they can merge PRs faster, they can go right ahead.
- detaro 6y agoYeah. Hope this thread doesn't get spread around to much, seldom does good come from half the internet piling into one issue.
- iG7naex5 6y agoIndeed, I don't get what they're talking about either. I use youtube-dl every few days, and it works perfectly for me. I'm always amazed by how when it stops working, an update is released a few hours later.
- tmaly 6y agoI updated my youtube-dl two days ago and was able to download a file. I think the poster might have been using an outdated version. Things do change on YouTube.
