yt-dlp (2025.11.12-1) unstable; urgency=medium As of yt-dlp 2025.11.12 yt-dlp relies on an external javascript engine such as Deno, Nodejs, or QuickJS to play YouTube videos, though this also requires the ejs module. You may wish to look into the --js-runtimes and --remote-components options in the manpage. At the time of this writing there were several tradeoffs. While Deno was the preferred option due to sandboxing support, it's not in Debian. (#961337) Nodejs is in Debian, but has more limited sandboxing support. QuickJS is also in Debian however it can lead to long (multiple minute) execution time and lacks sanxboxing support.
