Because of slow speed on youtube-dl and after reading this discussion I am trying to use yt-dlp (current version : 2021.12.27).
But when I run yt-dlp https://youtu.be/qIX1BhvUMJ0 I am getting error. Error is given below :
[youtube] qIX1BhvUMJ0: Downloading webpage [youtube] qIX1BhvUMJ0: Downloading android player API JSON [info] qIX1BhvUMJ0: Downloading 1 format(s): 18 [download] Got file access error.

Retrying (attempt 10 of 10) ... ERROR: unable to open for writing: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '12 seconds later [qIX1BhvUMJ0].mp4.part'
I don't know what is this. Please help me.
Use the -P option of yt-dlp to specify a path to write the files into, and make sure the current user has write permission on this path.
The issue might also be because you have install a snap of yt-dlp, which will then try to save the files into a folder structure within the snap install. If this is the problem you might have better luck removing the snap and installing via pip.
