#### Known Issues
|

|
|
* Windows has a hard limit of 260 characters for the filepath. This can cause issues with video downloading. It is recommended that you make your filepath as short as possible.
|
||
|
|
* If you are receiving a permission denied error when attempting to execute python, [this thread](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56974927/permission-denied-trying-to-run-python-on-windows-10) may be helpful.

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
* [yt-dlp](https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlp) - Make sure this is in your PATH.

|
||
