Windows kata yt-dlp is not recognized. Kenapa?

Fail boleh laku itu tiada dalam PATH anda, atau terminal itu sudah terbuka sebelum ia dipasang. Buka terminal baharu dahulu; jika itu tidak membantu, pasang melalui winget atau Scoop yang menguruskan PATH untuk anda.

yt-dlp tidak menjumpai ffmpeg pada Windows.

Pasang dengan winget install Gyan.FFmpeg, buka terminal baharu dan semak dengan ffmpeg -version. Meletakkan ffmpeg.exe dalam folder yang sama dengan yt-dlp.exe juga berkesan.

Bagaimana saya mengemas kini yt-dlp?

Binari berdiri sendiri mengemas kini dirinya dengan yt-dlp -U. Jika dipasang melalui pengurus pakej, kemas kini dengan pengurus itu; kemas kini sendiri enggan mengubah fail yang bukan miliknya. Mengemas kini menyelesaikan lebih banyak masalah daripada mana-mana flag tunggal.

Pasang yt-dlp pada Windows

Pasang yt-dlp dan ffmpeg pada Windows menggunakan winget, Scoop atau muat turun biasa, dan betulkan ralat PATH yang menyusul.

Rencana ini belum diterjemahkan, jadi ia dipaparkan dalam bahasa Inggeris. Antara mukanya tetap dalam bahasa anda.

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PowerShell and cmd do not quote the way bash does, and a command copied from a Linux-oriented tutorial often breaks for exactly this reason.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.
