I couldn't download YouTube videos using hypervideo, which seemed outdated and broken because of extraction issues causing the YouTube API changes. I hope heckyel will see this.
As heckyel is no longer supporting Hyperbola we have here a serious point, which was pointed out long ago and several times in talks without any kind of result. The point to solve this is complex, but the error itself is validated and therefore confirmed.
There are several options now:
- removing hypervideo and therefore also all references within other packages
- trying to fix the existing hypervideo (this is one option being looked at for the moment)
- trying to create a new soft fork from yt-dlp with renaming, including to compare the points towards hypervideo (another alternative option in discussion)
Personally I want to remind everyone that YouTube is and will stay a complete non-free service and platform. So a project on that size needs a maintainer foremost full-time. Whenever the interest is no longer there or time is not given, a problem arises. Therefore my personal option of choice is and stays the complete removal of hypervideo. Better we don't provide any kind of access towards platforms like YouTube. If there is further interest the choice is up to the users building own packages for their purpose. Hyperbola as project should not encourage the usage of non-free services at any point!
To add the possible, but also temporary fix: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/31530#issuecomment-1433470254
As far to say from the current point: The package hypervideo is going to be removed for sure as it has no real future. Meanwhile there is more research in the background if we can recreate a more lightweight commandline program only. But to state: All references towards hypervideo are already removed and the package itself also marked for removal.
