« on: June 21, 2022, 23:25:47 »This is not because of quality, this is because youtube is for several months now actively limiting downloading files directly, without usig their website. To work around this you need to use modified youtube-dl.exe that works around these limitations.
Steps (you need to have Youtube for AIMP intalled already):
1. Download yt-dlp.exe from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp.exe
2. Rename downloaded file from yt-dlp.exe to youtube-dl.exe
3. Right click youtube-dl.exe, choose properties, unblock file if windows says it is blocked.
4. Copy downloaded file youtube-dl.exe and overwrite original file in your AIMP\Plugins\aimp_YouTube\ directory
6. Restart AIMP if it was running.
Youtube should be working now without stuttering, tested.
Author of this AIMP extension should start including different version of youtube-dl.exe.
I had the stuttering issue with the bundled yt downloader. I followed your tip and works like a charm! Thanks!
In my case, no need to grant special firewall permissions to the new console app.
