Video players do not work if a yt-dlp user configuration is present
complete
tetrа
I have defined a user config for yt-dlp in which I've specified the
-o
flag. After doing this, video players stopped working. It seems that when VRChat calls yt-dlp
, yt-dlp finds that I have a user configuration and includes the flags I have defined, as shown by the output log:2023.05.24 22:35:00 Error - [Video Playback]
Usage: --no-check-certificate [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]
--no-check-certificate: error: no such option: -o
After removing my user config, video players worked again.
I believe that a potential solution would be to add the
--ignore-config
flag to the command.Log In

The video player stopped working in the presence of a regular yt-dlp configuration file.

If the "%APPDATA%\yt-dlp\config.txt" file contains options that cannot be used by yt-dlp.exe for VRChat
The video player displays "Invalid URL" with the log "error: no such option".
The only workaround seems to be to delete the configuration file.
Can I change yt-dlp to use "--ignore-config" or "--config-locations <PATH>"?

タイトル: 通常のyt-dlpの設定ファイルがあると動画プレイヤーが動かなくなる現象が発生しました。
"%APPDATA%\yt-dlp\config.txt"にVRChat用のyt-dlp.exeで使用できないオプションが書き込まれていると、
「error: no such option」というログと共に動画プレイヤーには「Invalid URL」と表示されます。
現状の回避方法は設定ファイルを削除するしかないように思えます。
yt-dlp使用時に"--ignore-config"か"--config-locations <PATH>"を使用するように変更できますか？

I can't believe this was my issue, I tried so many things.. and seeing the comments that it could be easily resolved by a simple switch.. I'm speechless! Thank you so much for this report!!! Hope they fix it ASAP.

Happened to me as well. Thought it was a video player-specific issue for a bit, then people reported their video players working for them, but not for me. This could easily be fixed by adding --ignore-config whenever vrchat hooks yt-dlp.

Came here to post this same issue. Had no idea why video players all suddenly stopped working for me, took me weeks to figure out it was my yt-dlp config.txt file breaking things.
