Integrate Python 3.7 or Above right into the QMPlay Appimage hence no Older Python problem

[leirbag28]

As someone who has Python 3.6 and will not/can not upgrade it or risk damaging my other Python apps, I have seen it is possible to integrate Python 3.10 into the Appimage making it even more Universal and requiring less from the outside. I downloaded CHIRP.Appimage which is software for configuring HAM/GMRS Walkie Talkie Radios (https://github.com/goldstar611/chirp-appimage/releases/tag/20250103). They just Added Python 3.10 to their latest edition and it seems to work!.

So as a Feature Request so that YouTube works Universally for everyone even if they don't have python 3.7 or above, this would be great to implement!

Is it possible to use custom path for yt-dlp in QMPlay2 with https://github.com/niess/python-appimage ?

Tested, it works (need script to launch yt-dlp using this AppImage, use this script as custom path in QMPlay2).

Better way:

1. Download yt-dlp_linux from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases
2. Set it as custom yt-dlp path in QMPlay2 settings (General Settings page, scroll down)
3. Uncheck "Don't auto-update" to allow auto-updates of yt-dlp.
4. Apply and enjoy.

Thank you ZAPS166 for this excellent solution! It works…I love binaries and Appimages for this reason.I am having utter joy as my QMPlay2 does so much! And now Youtube playback (on ubuntu 18.04 with python 3.6) with this method you suggested.(Adding a Fading Transition between switching to next video or picture would be icing on the cake and make this alone a wonderful Presentation tool like Keynote or Powerpoint. Just by us converting our presentation slides onto individual pictures and putting them in QMPlay2 along with Video in places needed).Sent from my iPhoneOn Jan 16, 2025, at 11:19 AM, Błażej Szczygieł ***@***.***> wrote: Is it possible to use custom path for yt-dlp in QMPlay2 with https://github.com/niess/python-appimage ?
