  Probably best to use Firefox, then. But I'm not aware of Firefox or Edge builds that run on the HDR-Fox CF platform.

  Maybe I'm intuiting incorrectly, but it seemed to me that @Sargan might be wanting to search programme metadata rather than just the filenames. It doesn't seem an unreasonable function to offer in the Browse Files page.

  Or create a sweeper rule to find the file. I suppose the UI will be a bit rubbish: set the rule to stop when a match is found; review sweeper log after running it with Run Now to find which file, if any, was found.

  Just starting Python and loading the yt-dl code (it's already extracted now, IIRC) takes a minute or 2. The majority of the remaining execution time, I'm sure, is spent executing the n-sig challenge JS. If we had a native ES6 JavaScript interpreter on the platform it might be a lot quicker, but...

  What To Do with a Dead or Unwanted HDR-FOX, HD-FOX, or DTR-T1000/1010
  
  The DTR-1000 is mentioned as a source of parts, except for the main board. However, the main board appears to be a potential source of replacement I/O modules/connectors for the FOXes. Has anyone tried to reuse these parts, like the HDMI/ethernet connector, or particularly the tuner module...

  The nightly is just a clone of the master, but it's the best solution for someone who wants a running version on a laptop/desktop/etc. In the Windows build, Python is the only Windows executable, so I assume it was built with VS2010 (Python 3.4: 2014-2019, VS2013 being too new in 2014). I'm...

  You can just download the nightly release POSIX build (example linked above) that will run on any such system with a python executable on the PATH (so you may have to link to /wherever/python3), or the Windows (>=XP) version that has its own Python 3.4.4 built in.

  -f 'bestaudio/best' -x --audio-format mp3 or -f 'bestaudio/best' -x --audio-format aac, depending on preference. In the second case ffmpeg should work out that it doesn't need to transcode the audio.

  The -U "" (ie, don't let on that the client is wget) is probably what makes the difference in the wget command. But IIRC we had problems before where the wrong, or an unexpected version of, wget was being invoked, due to PATH issues.
