(Translated with Google) What am I doing wrong? under "Output" I get the following:

I was able to fix the problem in the meantime.

I tested your URL with yt-dlp alone, the videos downloaded without problems.

You don't say how you fixed the problem, but I can't see any problems with your download options, perhaps it was something in the cookies file?

Sorry I didn't say how I fixed the problem. First I installed Tartube on a second identical system. It worked flawlessly on the second system. Then I compared the two settings under "Edit" and adopted them from the new system. I noticed that the "Firefox" browser under "Cookies" could not be removed without replacement. In the first attempt I replaced "Firefox" with "Chomium" and then removed "Chromium". I suspect the problem is related to "Firefox" or my "Firefox" settings or their "Add-ons"
