+# Change yt-dlp installation from pacman to pipx
+
+## Problem
+
+yt-dlp stopped working because the Arch repos were behind upstream. The pacman version was 2025.12.08 while the latest release was 2026.01.29 (7 weeks behind).
+
+yt-dlp updates frequently to keep up with site API changes, so being outdated often causes extraction failures.
+
+## Solution
+
+Install yt-dlp via pipx instead of pacman:
+
+```bash
+# Install pipx if not already installed
+sudo pacman -S python-pipx
+
+# Install yt-dlp via pipx
+pipx install yt-dlp
+
+# Remove the pacman version to avoid PATH conflicts
+sudo pacman -R yt-dlp
+```
+
+## Updating
+
+To update yt-dlp in the future:
+
+```bash
+pipx upgrade yt-dlp
+```
+
+This pulls directly from PyPI which stays current with upstream releases.
