Hi

I am asking a question and I hope this is the best place as I don’t think it appears anywhere else after going through all the other sections. I cannot confirm I am on 2023.03.04 as I cannot get to it. I have been trying for months. I have tried every combination of binaries and allowing running as a program. I am a Linux Mint 19.3 user. I cannot use APT to add the nightly build. I am stuck. I have updated Python to 3.7 and it now says after downloading the binary again “You are using an unsupported version of Python. Only Python versions 3.7 and above are supported by yt-dlp”

I am so confused and do not know what I am doing wrong. I know that dlp works fine and I cannot see any known issues or anything in the bug tracker.

Thank you in advance if anyone can help me (I did the step below as said but it doesn’t show me DEBUG?)

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below
