    It does look like there's little activity in the last couple months and none in the last almost 2 months.

  For longer than that. 846 open PRs, 3.7k open issues. And this long predates the GitHub takedown debacle. This isn't to say that they're totally AWOL: they do a really good job keeping on top of the boring break/fix work, like keeping on top of the ever-changing interfaces of video providers. But they're very conservative about expanding functionality, and even fixing more minor bugs.

    And they've closed many issues as duplicates with no further explanation given: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/23860 https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/23860

      Have they been duplicates?
      • nonbirithm 5y ago
        The linked issue contains several issues describing the same problem, but what I meant to say was that which duplicate they were of was never made clear. The maintainers seemed to assume that everyone knew what it was and never provided a link to the original issue.

  my youtube-dl still works fine for youtube.com but I haven't tested many other supported sites...
• the-dude 5y ago
  Wasn't the repo taken down for a while?
  • banana_giraffe 5y ago
    Yes, but it was brought back on November 16, 2020, and there was plenty of activity after that, till this recent drought of dead air.
