It still works for me. All it does is to run youtube-dl --update every day (as root). These are the official installation instructions. So when there is something not working than it is something on your system I guess. Maybe reinstalling helps .... And obviously you need to be connected to the internet and not being behind some stupid blockade of a internet service provider or a ridiculous government (as in china).
I don’t know, I couldn’t get it to work, everything is complicated.
How about replacing this with yt-dlp
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
@bamper45 thanks for reporting and sorry for that. Youtube-dl is not deprecated and it is working on my machine. I think your Problem might be caused by someting else. Can you provide more information what is not working? I.e what is the output when running youtube-dl on your machine?

@jonath92
Yutoube-dl has not been updated for many months, it works for me through the terminal, but the speed is not more than 50 / kb, like most. This development seems to have been abandoned. Now yt-dlp is working as it should.
@jonath92
yt-dlp speed
@bamper45 You are right youtube-dl has indeed not been uploaded since month. I will consider switching to the fork you mention in the Radio applet tomorrow but I think there is also a Bug in the applet which is indepent of youtube-dl. Can you tell me which folder you have set in the applet settings for the music download directory?
@bamper45 the youtube-dl is not working in the radio applet due to a Bug in Cinnamon when using non UTF-8 characters in folder names. See: linuxmint/cinnamon#10487. I think the download should work when you use a different download folder.
@jonath92 Yes, I used the downloads folder (name in Russian) maybe because of this. And yes, I also found a folder in my home directory like this "% D1% 82% D0% B0% D0% BA% D0% BE% D0% B3% D0% BE" and it contained 2 tracks (similar to this program )
Now I cannot change and double-check, but then I will write.
Thanks for the answer!

Downloading with youtube-dl works but the log says the file can't be copied from tmp.
Gjs-Message: 15:05:36.113: JS LOG: [LookingGlass/error] Failed to copy download from tmp dir. The following error occurred: Error moving file /tmp/.123AB1/abcdefghi.mp3: No such file or directory
What do you mean with "youtube-dl" works? Is the Song in the end downloaded to the directory you selected in the settings? Does the directory you selected in the settings exist? Because this is the only thing I can imagine throwing such Kind of error..
downloading once worked but i got a .webp instead of .mp4 or .mp3 when i tried to update and reload the radio it would give me this error:
JS LOG: [LookingGlass/error] Failed to copy download from tmp dir. The following error occurred: Error: filename couldn't be determined.
And yes the file exists as it is in the download and i tried to create a new file changed the dir and it didnt work
Does it happens in some cases or always?
it always happened i first suspected it bcs of python i tried to re install everything it would get be the same error would i provide something that will be more useful? I am using Linux Mint
yeah no you are right I can reproduce it. This needs to be fixed. As a workaround you can use yt-dlp which you can select in the radio applet settings. and install by sudo su -c "bash <(wget -qO- https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jonath92/039e998b3d3f6ba4afd5d5c671eaedf1/raw/23542a3aadadf5ba181fb8aff723c27610551abd/install-update-yt-dlp.sh)" root

I mean the MP3 is being created in a temp directory.
It's just not being moved to the destination directory.
Have not fired up the Linux machine in a while but will give it a go again asap.
Thank you Jonath92! I love how dedicated you are to the project and I hope one day i can do my own project. Thanks again!
You are more than welcome to contribute to the Code. When you have question, I am absolutely willed to help.
unfortunately my coding expertise is still minimal at this moment with the only languages i know are java and c++ but if you are interested in translating your applet to Arabic I am proficient in Arabic
Does this still work? I keep getting update not found daily. :(
