FYI. Exactly the same issue for me.

Maybe you did not copy the plugin to the right place.I had a similar error when the python file was not at the right place. I have no mac and can't try it. ocococococ ***@***.***> schrieb am Di., 28. Mai 2024, 16:48:

Not sure if it is related, but maybe it is. I also had another issue with running src_fix standalone on my mac, and I just posted a little update on that one here:

Where should the plugin be copied?

@franticht the directories for plugins are listed here

The documentations is quite imprecise.
It works like this:

The linked documentation is pretty okay in my opinion. Direct quote

In other words, the file structure on the disk looks something like:

    yt_dlp_plugins/
        extractor/
            myplugin.py
        postprocessor/
            myplugin.py
