Is there any way to download an age-restricted redditt video
that the yt-dlp won't download without creating a reddit account?
You can watch the video. https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/13dthoi/full_video_of_the_russian_surrendering_and_work/
But how do you download it? blob:https://www.reddit.com/6d72fd64-2e73-45dc-8270-09467ccc6810
I don't want to create a reddit account just to download this
video which is a famous video of a soldier (understandably) surrendering
to a drone moments after three of his buddies, one by one, are injured
by drone-dropped grenades to the actual point that they commit suicide. https://www.reddit.com/d0b68b1b-8d2e-4d4e-b58a-b9fb54f90157
The yt-dlp downloader didn't download it when I tried just now.
yt-dlp.exe --version
2023.06.21

yt-dlp https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/13dthoi/full_video_of_the_russian_surrendering_and_work/
ERROR: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'format'
I received this same error when downloading with my GUI Downloader. It's
a regression in the newest version of yt-dlp. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/7367
I went back to the previous version of yt-dlp. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.03.04
Using that version, the Reddit video, https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/13dthoi/full_video_of_the_russian_surrendering_and_work/,
downloaded without a problem for me.

I have never downloaded a reddit with the youtube downloader so I tried it but I already had the latest youtube downloader so it failed on me too.
How do you regress to a previous version of the Windows yt-dlp downloader?

There was a new version of yt-dlp released 6/22. With it, there was no
error message downloading the Reddit video.
With some GUI Downloaders like ClipGrab, the newest version of yt-dlp is downloaded automatically. With the one I use, TVDownloader (Aka YoutubeVideoDownloader), I download it from the GitHub Web site (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest), rename it to youtube-dl.exe, and place it in the TVDownloader folder.
Is it normal for the yt-dlp to be updated two days in a row?
Anyway, everything you said was spot on the mark!

I would go through my Linux installs and find one.
Linux tends to "freeze" a version, with the distro release.
A 20.04 would have a different version than 22.04 for example.
Debian removed the "-U" option before putting the software
in the tree. That's a more or less standard TreeHerder philosophy,
to prevent Exploitation via Update (tip over the updater site,
serve malware to everyone).
This is why, the other day, I got myself a 23.04 DVD, so I
could test the same version Carlos was using. That was the laziest
way I could think of doing it.
Otherwise, you do what you always do, use www.archive.org
when you need a time machine. Not everything is in there,
but I've escaped many binds using it.

The OP didn't ask for this help and I saw all the bickering on the other thread so I'm glad the Apple folks don't know about this one - but if the OP wants to get past that ffmpeg problem, I just tested a solution for him.
Just put ffmpeg.exe (I also added ffplay.exe & ffprobe.exe) in the yt-dlp.exe folder (you need the right ffmpeg that doesn't need a dll).
I tried it and it doesn't give that error about not merging the two files.
I got my ffmpeg.exe (long ago) from http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ but to be helpful, I just tested it for the OP but it no longer seems to exist.
I guess that makes sense because ffmpeg used to be patent protected.
But now even the ffmpeg site can point directly to a binary for it.
Googling, it seems that you can now get the compiled binaries from them. https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
Good luck and thank you for asking a good technical question!
