I think I have a direction. Found this and it seems to work. Gets me at least most of the way there anyway:

Hey group Struggling to set up some date choices for a URL. So the URL is structured like this: /admin/schedules?unit_instance_id=345&from_date=03%2F04%2F2022&to_date=04%2F04%2F2026 I am getting the first part unit_instance_id from a list filter, but how can I get the from_date and put in the escape characters '%2f' instead of slashes?

Hey Vitor, cool! What are universal actions?

Loaded up yt-dlp via brew. Works great! Thanks man!

Sounds good to me man!

Ahh sorry, missed those for some reason. Yes, doesn't seem to matter the link, and doesn't seem to matter how many times it's tried.

Yes, I believe so.

Easy and done! Like when your modem doesn't work. Unplug, wait 30 seconds and plug back in. Have a nice weekend my man!

Hello Vitor This is low priority but I thought I would ask. Getting URL invalid when trying to extract the audio. I tried to change the audio format to m4a (changed it back to mp3) but I fear I messed something else up (judging by the debug warning). 1) Terminal output: Updating Homebrew... ==> Auto-updated Homebrew!

@vitor Thank you so much for this, and all of your help over the years. I will endeavor to follow your instructions!

Yes, thanks to @deanishe for helping out! @vitor I upgraded youtube-dl again and I'm getting farther in the process now. Gathering more data for you.

Yeah, still getting the error after updating youtube-dl... youtube-dl is up-to-date (2020.01.24)

Hmm, something's wrong then. I left it for almost an hour and it doesn't seem to complete.. :~ ra$ /ra/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Workflow Data/com.vitorgalvao.alfred._sharedresources/bin/youtube-dl" --update >

Thanks V! Is this two separate commands or can you dump the whole thing into Terminal at once? And how long does it take to run?

Hey man, getting that invalid URL error after installing the new version. Can you remind me where the files are I need to delete for a fresh install?

Yeah, I did that but no love. Then I unloaded everything and re-installed. Seems to be working now!
