After 1 straight hour of downloading Sd6iI3SnXEI , ytarchive fails with the message
ERROR: Error retrieving player response: unable to retrieve player response object from watch page
WARNING: video5: Download link likely expired and stream is privated or members only, cannot continue download
WARNING: audio2: Download link likely expired and stream is privated or members only, cannot continue download
Despite these warnings, the stream was actually still live, and not a members stream.
My shell prompt times commands; that ytarchive run took "1h 3m 20.005s", with ffmpeg taking 03:34:29.05 to remux into MKV. (oops, disregard: this is the VOD runtime!!)
