PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/yt-dlp-plugins'

I'm not sure when this started happening, but at some point between the container working fine yesterday I started getting the following error on start-up and every cycle.

I'm using the UID 99 and the GID 100 if that's important. I had a look inside the container filesystem and there doesn't appear to be anything in /root/ at all. Perhaps using the modified UID/GID values yt-dlp doesn't have permission to check/create the plugin binaries?

This is because of the latest release. I have the same error.

Should be fixed now :)

[Xalaxis]

I can confirm that fixed the issue, thanks!
