Windows bilang yt-dlp tidak dikenali. Kenapa?

Berkas eksekusinya tidak ada di PATH, atau terminalnya sudah terbuka sebelum pemasangan. Buka terminal baru; kalau masih belum, pasang lewat winget atau Scoop yang mengurus PATH untuk Anda.

yt-dlp tidak menemukan ffmpeg di Windows.

Pasang dengan winget install Gyan.FFmpeg, buka terminal baru, lalu periksa dengan ffmpeg -version. Menaruh ffmpeg.exe di folder yang sama dengan yt-dlp.exe juga bisa.

Bagaimana cara memperbarui yt-dlp?

Binary mandiri memperbarui dirinya dengan yt-dlp -U. Kalau dipasang lewat package manager, perbarui lewat manager itu; pembaruan mandiri akan menolak mengubah berkas yang bukan miliknya. Memperbarui menyelesaikan lebih banyak masalah daripada flag apa pun.

Memasang yt-dlp di Windows

Pasang yt-dlp dan ffmpeg di Windows dengan winget, Scoop, atau unduhan biasa, dan atasi error PATH yang muncul setelahnya.

1. Install yt-dlp

winget ships with Windows 10 and 11 and handles the PATH for you, which is the part people get wrong when installing by hand.

winget install yt-dlp.yt-dlp

If you already use Scoop or Chocolatey, either is equally fine:

scoop install yt-dlp
choco install yt-dlp

The manual route is a single yt-dlp.exe from the official releases page. Put it in a folder that is on your PATH — dropping it on the Desktop works only while your terminal happens to be in that folder, which is the usual cause of "yt-dlp is not recognized".

2. Install ffmpeg

yt-dlp downloads without ffmpeg, but everything interesting needs it: merging separate video and audio, MP3 extraction, embedding subtitles or thumbnails, cutting sections. Install it now rather than after the first confusing failure.

winget install Gyan.FFmpeg

3. Check it worked

Open a new terminal — an existing one still has the old PATH — and run:

yt-dlp --version
ffmpeg -version

Two version numbers means you are done.

Quoting on Windows

PowerShell and cmd do not quote the way bash does, and a command copied from a Linux-oriented tutorial often breaks for exactly this reason. In PowerShell, single quotes are literal — the safest choice for a format selector or an output template. In cmd, use double quotes. In a .bat file, every % must be doubled.

yt-dlp -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s' URL     # PowerShell
yt-dlp -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" URL     # cmd
yt-dlp -o "%%(title)s.%%(ext)s" URL   # inside a .bat file

The generator's shell switch produces the right form for each of these, so you can copy without translating.

Updating

A standalone yt-dlp.exe updates itself with yt-dlp -U. Installed via winget, Scoop or Chocolatey, update it through the same tool — self-update will refuse, because the package manager owns the file.
