In what environment is this setup?
Running the version 1.0.3 via the AUR with Yt-dlp built on 11 12 2025 and MPV built on 9 24 2025 as well as the the provided MPV and yt-dlp configurations is confirmed to work this morning.
Edit:
Please use Github Issues for any bug reporting to allow for better tracking. The newest version of yt-feeds is now at 1.0.5 with improved error logging for better user reporting!
On version 1.0.3 running via the AUR package and directly from cargo, I cannot seem to replicate this issue.
What is your MPV/yt-dlp configuration? It is possible that the configured options specify options not provided by YouTube, so playback will not work well. To attempt a fix, try moving these configuration files temporarily to a new location.
Also please ensure this version is indeed the latest 1.0.3. It could be that the AUR did not cache the newest version, so this could be 1.0.2 which had issues with the new YT workaround.

The attached configuration should not theoretically be necessary - I was able to see full functionality with blank configuration.
In my testing though, I’ve notice some configurations options can cause issues with the yt-dlp and MPV pipeline.
As per logging, it is automatically on with messages stored in the specified files in the documentation. As of 1.0.5, MPV and yt-dlp stderr is also logged. Anything prior to 1.0.5 will not feature this logging.
