Same issue on Google Pixel 7
Seal clearly needs to update their python version

I just researched and found out that starting with yt-dlp version 2024.09.27 it seems like it dropped support for Python 3.8

If you setup to have yt-dlp auto upgraded, there is no way to use old version of yt-dlp as far as I know.

I just researched and found out that starting with yt-dlp version 2024.09.27 it seems like it dropped support for Python 3.8

It says "support for it will be dropped soon" because currently it's just a warning (unless seal has some code that makes it break on warnings)

If you setup to have yt-dlp auto upgraded

I don't know anything about seal, but I'll just note that if it's using yt-dlp --update then it won't update to any versions that drop support for Python 3.8 (that's why https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/download/2024.09.27/_update_spec) exists. Like I said, yt-dlp hasn't dropped Python 3.8 support yet

there is no way to use old version of yt-dlp as far as I know

Does Seal allow custom yt-dlp commands? If yes, I guess you could run yt-dlp --update-to [email protected]

gamer191 · 2024-10-04T15:16:25Z

Also happens on NewPipe

Screenshot? As far as I know NewPipe doesn't use yt-dlp

tarunsinghaldotme · 2024-10-05T02:55:03Z

Me too getting this error

Samg381 · 2024-10-05T11:49:18Z

Same here.

This is a warning instead of an error. For the actual error that failed the download, please check the link below

Grub4K · 2024-10-15T18:29:53Z

yt-dlp maintainer here: We plan on removing support for Python 3.8 after the next release

We don't want to suddenly break this app by rushing things, but we also don't want to move too slowly and run into problems with our dependencies dropping 3.8 support before we do. What kind of timeframe can we expect regarding a new release from your side?

JunkFood02 · 2024-10-16T07:38:16Z

@Grub4K Thx for the msg! We've already compiled the app with a new version of python and a new release will be availble soon

Kmwinter4 · 2024-11-05T15:13:59Z

I have the same problem now, didn't let me download from fb, ig and tiktok and always the same message.

bashonly · 2024-11-05T15:15:37Z

@Kmwinter4 update Seal

Kmwinter4 · 2024-11-05T15:19:54Z

@bashonly I'm trying, I download the universal version and all of them but didn't let me update, there's a message that says it's a problem with some package

The app says it's update

seproDev · 2024-11-05T15:23:43Z

@Kmwinter4 Not the version of yt-dlp inside the seal app, but seal itself. v1.13.1 is the latest version.

Kmwinter4 · 2024-11-05T15:35:13Z

@seproDev and do you know how to update? I search but it comes only Linux, windows, macOs, and none could open on my phone

seproDev · 2024-11-05T15:55:25Z

@Kmwinter4 Either use the auto update feature of Seal:

Or download the APK from GitHub: https://github.com/JunkFood02/Seal/releases/latest
