FWIW I did once try learning and using Java. Gave up after a while because
by the time I'd written anything the methods became 'deprecated' as the
caravan morphed on at superluminal speed! 8-[

So I've stuck with my shoddy use of 'C'. No style, just: "does this give me
the coconut?!" 8-] Oh well, at least I've stopped using FORTRAN. Although
people who know both can see that my 'C' looks like "FORTRAN in
disguise"...

(snipped useful info)

When I can, I'll try again to install the new yt-dlp version again from
scratch. Use a different tack and see. If it doesn't work, I'll give up and
do something else.
