You really helped me here, all I had to do was to rename yt-dlp to youtube-dl on the executable. I was blowing my brains on what I did wrong.

Why do you have to play broken moon in the background 😭❤❤❤

[nleolnator]

Very helpful and to the point, thank you :)

youtube-dl broke, so i began using yt-dlp and it was great for downloads, but wouldn't play mpv/streaming and some of my old playlists no longer worked. When I tried to fix it using online guides, I not only couldn't fix the streaming, but it broke my ability to download, too - i guess because of a change I made to some config file.
What a mess.

Can you make a video on how to install and use streamlink on Windows?
It wasn't clear how to do it based on this video.

Edit: Maybe streamlink is not even needed for me, because I don't watch twitch. What I'm trying to do is watch Crunchyroll and Anycrush from MPV. Can you explain how can I achive that after successfully installing MPV and setting up youtube_dl.exe?

Your vtuber voice is great. Can't stop listening.
