 macports, and it really took ages , so i had wanted to stop it.

 It is true that youtube-dl has hundreds of dependencies, and that this can
 take time to install, more so on older OS versions like Tiger for which we
 do not have precompiled binaries. If you want to use youtube-dl, you'll
 need those dependencies, so they'll have to be installed one way or
 another. And if you've already installed the mpv port with its +network
 variant (which is a default variant), it already includes a dependency on
 youtube-dl, so you've already installed it and all of its dependencies
 using MacPorts.

 > Certainly possible that the version you fetched from upstream is in some
 way breaking behavior and is now incompatible. Since we cannot expect the
 `youtube-dl` port to be updated to the newest version on-spot (because,
 quite frankly, upstream's release schedule is opaque at best and versions
 may be updated any odd day), maybe the port is still working fine.

 Right now, the youtube-dl port is up to date. I check livecheck every few
 days and update youtube-dl if it's out of date, if Zero King doesn't beat
 me to it.

 I get the same error on my system, with proper shell quoting, so there is
 some other issue still happening, but I can't help figure out what it is.
