[BUG]Video Shows yt-dlp library update available, doesnt allow downloading

[SimpliOP]

Describe the bug
Upon installing FFMPEG binaries and attempting to insert a URL, instead of download options, the plugin lists "yt-dlp library update available! Current version: 2025.12.08", and prompts me to click to update. Upon clicking, the command prompt flashes for a second before closing, and upon reattempting to insert a URL, the same thing pops up, with still no download

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install AnyVideoDownloader 2.2.1
2. Download FFMPeg binaries
3. Insert a video URL to download

Expected behavior
If an update was truly nescessary, I would have expectd the prompt to go away

Error Log
Add any error code or log you received.

Worth noting I attempted to update the yt-dlp exe inside the plugin folder to both the latest version using yt-dlp -U and the latest nightly, neither worked

Thank you for reporting. I'll take a look into this.

Do you have the pip installed globally?

[SimpliOP]

I do have a seperate install of yt-dlp, but until today's update, it did not interfere with the Flow Launcher plugin.
For that installation, I did not use pip, I believe I used the release binaries

[z1nc0r3]

There are two points to consider: the yt-dlp Python package and the binary executable (exe). What the plugin does is fetch results for a given video using the pip package and then downloads it using the exe.

The previous issue was that users couldn’t update the pip package on their end, which meant they were stuck with the version included in the release zip. In this new version, I’ve implemented a way to prompt users to update every five days. However, I guess there may be an issue with the command I used.

If you're on Discord and would like to help me with testing, please send me a message at lasith98.

Thanks!
