Description

This site has just stopped working.

It never required the Cache attribute previously.

Any suggestions as to how to fix?

Your installation is not expected to work. Review #30839 for more information. Until the issue is fixed you may need to work around #32905 when accessing YT.

[peternewell]

Thanks for that, I will work through it and see what I come up with.

As a small update, I downloaded and installed the nightly release 2024.08.07, and when I ran it I couldn't download anything from SBS.

Once I installed the attached file, it seemed then to work ok. (remove the txt suffix).

So I am wondering if the nightly repository is up to date?

[dirkf]

The nightly build includes all the commits to the master branch. The PR for SBS needs to be checked and then merged. I think the tests were failing last year and so it didn't progress. Assistance from anyone in-region would be appreciated (I'll post in the PR and link it here).

[dirkf]

As above, see #31880 (comment).

[dirkf]

From the comment in the PR, OP has a working program now.
