[GUI] yt-dlp.exe process has exited

also the progress bar looks like this image

keep in mind that using the 298 video option (the 720p 60fps variant) instead of 311 works just fine

I'm guessing the file is opened by a different instance of yt-dlp that previously failed to close for whatever reason. When this type of error happens, use Task Manager to check for "undead" instances of yt-dlp, and close any that you find. If there aren't any, then you have to find which other process has the file open, and kill it.

I'll see what I can do about the progress bar.
