This problem was reported and solved in the youtube-dl thread.
Thanks for responding. It’s good to know how much of a novice I am and how much I need to improve the detail in any future postings (hopefully not many)What does that actually mean? Be specific.
That won't help.
Which probabably means it needs a less specific fix. Try this (make sure you copy and paste it):
find "/mod/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/youtube-dl" -name '*.pyc' -exec echo rm \"{}\" \; | $SHELL
If that doesn't work, then an even less specific one:
find "/mod/lib/python2.7" -name '*.pyc' -exec echo rm \"{}\" \; | $SHELL
Thanks.
The command-line package is youtube-dl, the WebIF GUI front-end for youtube-dl is qtube.
Why not simply force-reinstall youtube-dl and qtube?
Put yourself in the place of the reader and see whether it makes sense from a position of not being able to see what you see and without prior knowledge of what you've actually done. It can be quite tricky, which is why, I guess, so many people struggle with this sort of thing.how much I need to improve the detail in any future postings
I've searched the forum and can't find any such posts. In fact, there were only 3 references to it at all, one of which was your above post and the other two were just in a list of packages. Needless to say, I have no idea what this does or what might need it. It's certainly nothing to do with the base Python package or youtube-dl or qtube.I’d try one of the postings that suggested re-installing "Python-Setuptools"
Was this installed already? What for? I assume it's some sort of development tool.I used [Webif][Package Management][Installed][Showing Advanced Packages] to remove the remove "Python-Setuptools" because it has the description "Download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages -- easily!". I then used the similar process but using the "Available" tab to Install it again
Good. This is effectively what uninstalling and reinstalling youtube-dl does in terms of cleanup, without the overhead of actually uninstalling and reinstalling as BH suggested (and which would have worked, as would /df's solution, although it was not totally clear (to me) at that point that it was the same problem).The first solution you offered has worked
This is the only authoritative forum when it comes to HDR-FOX CF.I can't find the reference on Hummy.tv I used that prompted me to re-install, it may have been on another forum, (Github or other) as I would not have just installed it for fun.
I have a work-around for this.qtube wishlist bump!
Even some text comments on the qtube GUI page for copy&paste would help. My favourites are:How about a Christmas present? I still think qtube as a front-end for youtube-dl could provide more user aids. What I'm thinking is some preset tick boxes which insert appropriate strings into the "Process options" field... otherwise I have to look them up each time.
