yt-dlp (2025.11.12-1) unstable; urgency=medium As of yt-dlp 2025.11.12, downloading YouTube videos requires an external JavaScript engine (such as Deno, Nodejs, or QuickJS) and the yt-dlp-ejs module (not packaged yet.) 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 sandboxing support.
