This is a guide for updating yt-dlp. Occasionally, updates to services break or new services are added and will require updates. Resonite does bundle updates to this program in its own updates but you may want to update sooner instead of waiting.

yt-dlp.exe can be located inside of Resonite\RuntimeData\.

Manual

  • Open a command prompt or powershell window
  • Navigate to the Resonite\RuntimeData\ folder with a command like cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resonite\RuntimeData\
    • In command prompt, you may need to use cd /d if your game is installed on another drive, this is not required in powershell.
  • From here, run yt-dlp.exe -U in command prompt or .\yt-dlp.exe -U in powershell.

Batch Script

You can simplify the manual steps by putting them in a batch script file.

  • Open notepad or a text editor of your choice, paste:
@echo off
cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resonite\RuntimeData"
yt-dlp.exe -U
  • Update the path if your game is installed in another location.
  • Click File > Save As and change the 'Save as type' to 'All Files'
  • Name the file Update_yt-dlp.bat or similar ending in '.bat'
  • Save this where ever you'd like

Now updating can be done by just running the batch file directly.

Mod

A mod exist to automatically update yt-dlp when launching the game, it can be found here https://github.com/Raidriar796/yt-dlp-Updater/.
