Windows Xp v20.12.16 minor update for youtube-dl

[YoshiKill]

Hello, and thanks a lot for your great work.
I have some not trivial request (My tastes are very...singular)
I use old Xp version 20.12.16 for my retro Pc, its work great i even can watch youtube with youtube-dl until this day. Now youtube change there stuff and only video source is 360p, all other is in DASH.
So my request is ask for update, for this old version, to add chose DASH source of video + audio for youtube-dl, if its possible.
It will be great support for retro PC enthusiasts.

It must be something else, not DASH. Is it possible to run newer version of youtube-dl there?

Some enthusiasts compile mod version of new YouTube-dl and yt-dlp for old PC, yes it's work fine.
I make some screen from -F output

Hello, any news for this not trivial request? There is any chance add Dash support for this XP version?

Windows XP is not supported anymore, I don't have any tools already for this.

What tools is needed for compile Qmplay2 in xp? Or modern code don't support work in XP any way? I can try install all software to compile it. If you help me. But if you don't have any interest I understand.

You have to use Qt 5.6 branch, Install/compile Qt 5.6.3.

Also verify which version of MinGW/GCC compiler supports Windows XP and compile all needed dependencies (requires older FFmpeg 4.x maybe - don't remember version exactly).

You can try to take DLLs from last QMPlay2 Windows XP release, but you have to have header files and try to link to these DLLs w/o .a files (maybe MinGW can handle it).
