Hello
I can't get the app ytfzf to work using Gemini 4.12 32bit with the Trinity desktop. This is the what I am trying to run:
https://github.com/pystardust/ytfzf
I'm trying to get this to work simply to see if it is possible to playback YouTube videos without having to run a webbrowser.
The script complains that I am using a version of youtube-dl that is too old, but it seems I am running the latest version.
Here is the messages I get in Konsole when I try to start a video. The search function works, it just doesn't seem to be able to actually play a video. If I try to update youtube-dl it says I am running the latest version:
simon@q4os-desktop:~$ ytfzf

simon@q4os-desktop:~$ youtube-dl -U
youtube-dl is up-to-date (2021.12.17)
simon@q4os-desktop:~$
Any help would be appreciated. Is it possible that some of the apps that ytfzf is trying to call just don't have recent 32 but versions?
Would it be possible for a package version of this app to be made availalbe in the Synaptic package manager?

I've worked out that I can work around this problem by replacing youtube-dl with yt-dlp which works. But I need to replace it in the mpv.conf file. I have searched for this file but can't find it on my installation. Is there another way to find mpv.conf?
