Unable to identify/download Youtube videos

I have installed the package from Pypi. I was able to install all dependent packages as listed in the README.
I try to open the GUI from terminal using

$ firedm

I tried downloading https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1HWSFe6P6Y but was unable to download video as it downloads the html file.

Checked for ffmpeg

$ ffmpeg --help

Am I missing something?

The original creator removed the project repository from Github but left it on PyPI. The latest version they published there, 2022.4.14, I believe was purposely sabotaged to not work and anybody who accepted the update in FireDM would be left with the broken version. If you want to install from PyPI install 2022.2.5 and don't update. https://pypi.org/project/FireDM/2022.2.5

I will work on getting builds posted here and a separate PyPI project. I might just rename it something else and we can carry on where the original left off.

@Sixline Thanks for the response. 2022.2.5 worked for me.

Do let me know if I can help with anything.

Suggestion:
Claim FireDM on PyPI?
