Скачать или смотреть Installing Video Converters (HandBrake/FFmpeg) and Automating Updates for FFmpeg & yt-dlp on Fedora

You can automate updates for both, but they use different methods.

ffmpeg is a system package (from RPM Fusion) and should be updated by Fedora's package manager (dnf).

yt-dlp is a self-contained program that is best updated by itself.

Here are the commands for both automatic and manual updates
1. Automatic Updates

This is the "set it and forget it" method.

🤖 To Automate ffmpeg (and all system updates)

The best way to do this on Fedora is with dnf-automatic. This tool will automatically download and install system updates for you.

sudo dnf install dnf-automatic
sudo nano /etc/dnf/automatic.conf
sudo systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic.timer


To Automate yt-dlp (using a systemd timer)

This is the modern Fedora way to schedule a task. It will automatically run yt-dlp -U every day.

Step 1: Create a systemd service file
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/yt-dlp-update.service

paste:

[Unit]
Description=Update yt-dlp
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/yt-dlp -U

then ctrl+x ,then press y then ENTER KEY ,
