SMPLAYER: 16.9.0 on Windows Embedded 32Bit

Setup is uable to download: http://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl.exe
Error: Fehler beim Herunterladen von youtube-dl: »Redirection (302)«

I skip the download and copy youtube-dl.exe to "...\smplayer\mpv" folder but smplayer doesn't play a Youtube video.
No error Message

Could you send the smplayer log after trying to play a youtube video? (menu "view")

Sorry for my late answere, but with any luck i was able to install smplayer on my system correct.
Now i have the problem again on 32bit version.
Setup is unable to download youtube-dl (ERROR 302).
On setup i must cancel the download of youtube-dl to install smplayer.
I copy youtube-dl.exe to temp and mpv oldder, but SMPlayer cant play a clip from youtube.
Attached is the Log you need.
But the biggest problem is SETUP, please give users a option to chose location of youtube-dl at setup or look for the file in folder where setup is started.
Or fix the download url in setup for youtube-dl.exe.

EDIT:
Setup can install youtube-dl.exe if you place it in %temp% folder and if you reset the configuration at setup.

Be sure the option "support for video sites" in preferences -> network is set to "auto" or "youtube".

Sorry, how can help me any changes in Settings when the Setup of smplayer is unable to download and install youtube-dl ???
This is closed now for me, i use a other player to watch. I dont want to talk longer to a wall.
Go and play with your linux code and stop support of other OS, i think this is the best solution.

Sorry but I can't reproduce your problem when downloading youtube-dl, for me it works fine. It's very difficult to fix a problem if I can't experience it.

youtube-dl is actually not required to play youtube videos since smplayer already includes internal support for youtube.

The latest is 16.11 which works fine, the youtube-dl website changed and a different plugin had to be used for the installer to download it, it's long since been fixed but you have to install with the latest release.
