youtube-dl on Chocolatey packages

When running youtube-dl --version command the output is 2016.06.16. The latest youtube-dl version at the moment is 2017.01.05. At first I thought that the package maintainer has accidentally uploaded an outdated version, but the problem persists after several repository updates.

  • You should manually use the upgrade command (i.e. choco upgrade youtube-dl) and point it to the correct repository.

  • @Ramhound: I've done that, youtube-dl v2017.01.05 is the latest version available based on your source(s)

  • You also have to change the repository to one with the current version...Your currently pointed to a repository source that hasn't been updated.

I have just done a fresh install of youtube-dl on a fresh Windows 7 machine, and I can confirm that it is working as expected. The output of youtube-dl --version outputs 2017.01.05. I would suggest that you do the following...

Run choco source and verify that you get, at least, the following output:

chocolatey - https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/ | Priority 0.

If you do, run the following:

choco upgrade youtube-dl --force

To force the re-installation of the package.

If this still doesn't work, then run the following (at a PowerShell command window):

&where.exe youtube-dl

To ensure that the you are running the version that chocolatey has installed.

The program is up to date, I had a leftover file from an earlier install on my computer.
