Btw, even though it's called "youtube"-dl, it can download from many

I use both 4kVideoDownloader and youtube-dl because neither of them

Installing 4kVideoDownloader on Fedora isn't all that difficult:
1) Use the "alien" tool to convert the deb package to an rpm package:
sudo alien --to-rpm --scripts 4kvideodownloader_4.13.5-1_amd64.deb
2) Fix the rpm package so that it doesn't try to "own" the "/usr"
and
"/usr/bin" directories.
rpmrebuild --edit-spec 4kvideodownloader-4.13-6.x86_64.rpm
When the VI editor session opens, scroll down to the "%files" section of
the file and delete the first eight lines:
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/"
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr"
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/lib"
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/lib/.build-id"
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/lib/.build-id/a4"
%attr(0777, root, root)

%attr(0777, root, root)
"/usr/lib/.build-id/f7/997df8fab1b5db8950848b227407154e389688"
Save the file and let the rebuild complete.
3) Insrall the rpm package using dnf as usual:
sudo dnf install ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/4kvideodownloader-4.13-6.x86_64.rpm

Might be that I forgot to give you instructions to create the RPM build
directory tree that the rpm tools use. Do you have this tree structure
in your home directory?
~/rpmbuild
├── BUILD
├── RPMS
├── SOURCES
├── SPECS
└── SRPMS
If not, this command will create it:
mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
Once that structure exists, try running the rpmrebuild again.

Is there an 'rpmrebuild' command? I have used 'rpmbuild
--rebuild' -
but not exactly in this context.

There is a package/executable called 'rpmrebuild' but it builds a
package from the RPM database and installed files of a package instead
of rebuilding a RPM from the source RPM (.srpm). So, they don't do
the same thing.

It also has a "-p" option that lets you rebuild an rpm file and an
"-e"
option to let you edit the spec file before it does the rebuild. I have
used this a few times to fix 3rd-party rpms (like Google Earth).

rpmdevtools was already on my workstation and up-to-date.
I removed the .tmp and rpmbuild directories.
I removed the old 4kvideodownloader-4.13-6.x86_64.rpm file.
I ran rpmdev-setuptree; it re-created the rpmbuild directory with the 5
empty sub-directories. It also created the .rpmmacros file.
I ran the alien command; it seemed to work.
I ran the rpmrebuild command and did the edit that you suggested. I got
over 1100 error messages. I pasted them into a text file
"output_1213.txt" and uploaded the file onto the google drive. It is here:
"https://drive.google.com/file/d/10kS4TuCC6Aj9ToNjYBgz1nPHrvkZ3wXr/view?usp=sharing".
There seems to be a huge number of files missing and not found.
Are there any steps missing between downloading the deb file from the
web site and running the alien command?
Are there any steps missing between the alien command and the rpmrebuild
command?

Ok, here's an idea. Maybe you need to use the -p|--package option with
the rpmrebuild command. I already had the package installed so it's
using my installed package contents to rebuild the RPM in my case. You
don't have the package yet, so it can't do that. So try:
rpmrebuild --edit-spec --package 4kvideodownloader-4.13-6.x86_64.rpm

No difference if I add the "--refresh" option.
Right, you're still on F32. That version is only available on F33.

Yeah, that's what I'm on, F33. I had this working on F32 before I
ungraded though. Maybe some trial and error using previous versions of
4kvideodownloader would find one that works. A little googling found
this archive: https://bit.ly/2WiMnje

New subject: how to install "4K Video Downloader"?
This thread seems to have been accidentally started as a continuation of
my original thread with the same subject.
I do not plan to upgrade to Fedora-33 until April or May 2021. I'm
suspending my efforts to install 4kvideodownloader until after that. I
think that between the "Video DownloadHelper" add-on and the
"youtube-dl" command line program, I can download most if not all that I
want.
I thank everyone for your time and effort helping me.
I'm marking this thread SOLVED. I've also marked the original thread
SOLVED.
