## Description
Reinstalled twice, not very experienced with programming stuff, ytmdl fails when trying to download music. The error occurs when I try to search for a song, and it appears to be related to a TypeError with the httpx.post(). The error message states that an unexpected keyword argument proxies was passed. How do I fix this?

[CarloDePieri]

I can confirm this.

Arch linux
python: 3.13.1
ytmdl: 2024.08.15.1 (installed from the Aur repo, see the PKGBUILD here; I even tried directly from pip in a venv with no luck)
yt-dlp: 2025.01.26 (installed from the Arch repo, it works on its own)

I fixed it myself! You have to downgrade httpx to version 0.27! see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79277656/error-post-got-an-unexpected-keyword-argument-proxies

Arch linux python: 3.13.1 ytmdl: 2024.08.15.1 (installed from the Aur repo, see the PKGBUILD here; I even tried directly from pip in a venv with no luck) yt-dlp: 2025.01.26 (installed from the Arch repo, it works on its own)

Yep, solution below, Case closed.

Good job finding the breaking dependency update.
Pinning httpx<0.28 is definitely not fixing the problem though, it's barely a workaround.

The core problem is the dependency on a library which has been archived since mid '22. We need at least to pin httpx for the time being.

for pipx installs
pipx runpip ytmdl install --force-reinstall 'httpx<0.28'
