Odysee downloads not working

Can you share the Odysee channel URL you're trying to add, and paste the error message text? The screenshot alone makes it hard to diagnose - the error text will tell us exactly where yt-dlp is failing.

yt-dlp : Current version: 2026.03.17

Odysee Channel: https://odysee.com/@RobBraxmanTech

ChannelHoarder version: v1.8.5.2

Error given when downloading Odysee video:
Unknown Error
Unknown error: ERROR: Unsupported URL: https://odysee.com/c7a6fe7aae535cf12056578c6af5e40de442702c

I updated to ChannelHoarder version 1.8.6 and now get the following when adding Odysee channel:
yt-dlp could not extract channel info: Impersonate target "chrome" is not available. Use --list-impersonate-targets to see available targets. You may be missing dependencies required to support this target.

Found the bug. Odysee uses LBRY claim IDs (hex hashes) as video identifiers, and we were trying to construct a download URL from that hash using a template (https://odysee.com/{claim_id}), which isn't a valid Odysee URL.

Fixed in v1.8.6 - we now store the original URL from yt-dlp during scanning and use it directly for downloads instead of trying to reconstruct it. Pull the new image and try re-adding your Odysee channel.

Not sure if you read my comment, but i already updated to 1.8.6 and I get the above error

Same root cause as #19 - the curl_cffi version installed (0.15.0) was outside yt-dlp's supported range, so browser impersonation never actually worked even though the module imported fine.

Fixed in v1.8.9 alongside the Odysee URL fix from v1.8.6. Pull the latest image and try re-adding your Odysee channel.

On v1.9.0 and now the channels add again, however we're back to the same issue of the incorrect video URL, even when I remove the channels and readd and scan.
