yt-dlp unable to find a format for a video and so just gives up. #94

I have been archiving a large channel and almost all videos work fine, but there is some videos where whenever the script downloads almost all the comments it starts spamming

[info] Testing format 399 [info] Unable to download format 399. Skipping... [info] Testing format 303 [info] Unable to download format 303. Skipping... [info] Testing format 299 [info] Unable to download format 299. Skipping... [info] Testing format 303 [info] Unable to download format 303. Skipping...

[info] Testing format 299 [info] Unable to download format 299. Skipping... [info] Testing format 303 [info] Unable to download format 303. Skipping...

and then after a while of that it eventually gives this error message

ERROR: [youtube] g9_aYyEDMD0: Requested format is not available.

and moves onto the next video. I have updated my yt-dlp with yt-dlp -U but I was on a version not too far away from the latest and it takes hours to download all the comments on a video to test it so I don't know if that fixed it yet. Is this an issue with the script?

This script does nothing but calls yt-dlp. You should ask yt-dlp.
