There’s a comment on Routinehub mentioning the same issue. Been about 3ish days.

Just a heads up it seems down for YT. Using a-shell mini rather than the full, though I don’t think that’s any issue.

Doing the same thing on full as well.

Can you confirm if the error continues after following these steps? https://github.com/net00-1/SW-DLT/blob/master/Docs.md#updating-utilities

I really need to find a way to upgrade yt-dlp/gallery-dl in the background. I think with the new a-shell background commands it is now possible without disrupting the usability.

This solution fixes the shortcut. Thank you for pointing this out.

Yeah that’s a tough one to crack. I’ve seen some shortcuts mention updating before use every once in a while.

I did that but still kept saying the errors

Can you post the site link that gives you this error? perhaps authentication is required
