Fix Peertube youtube-dl not Downloading

Posted on by

Issue was not being able to import a video into Peertube using a URL.

Peertube was set up to use youtube-dl which is in /var/www/peertube/storage/bin/youtube-dl. Further investigation showed that Peertube calls it with python.

For example 

python youtube-dl video-to-download

Usually Python refers to Python 2 where as Python3 refers to Python 3.

We can create a symlink so that python = python3

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

This way when Peertube runs python, it technically will run it with python3.

Note you will probably run into issues if you do have Python 2 installed and need it. In my case, python was not installed and didn’t reference anything.
