As the title says, when I download videos that have PNG thumbnails, I can see the thumbnail successfully downloaded, but then just before it'd be embeded into the video, it gets deleted (and, naturally, not embeded).
When I pass the EXACT same command (copy-paste from Tartube Output) to a separate instance of yt-dlp.exe that I downloaded directly from the yt-dlp github, this issue does not happen, the thumbnail is downloaded and embeded into the video.
Here's Tartube's output:

WARNING: Skipping embedding the thumbnail because the file is missing.
I tried disabling webp to jpg convesion in System preferences (as suggested here https://github.com/axcore/tartube/issues/461 ) but that didn't help. Also, the "...but don't delete the original thumbnails" option is enabled.

Here are links to this video and a couple others like that that have this issue (all have PNG thumbnails): https://www.starwars.com/video/trailer-the-bad-batch https://www.starwars.com/video/season-2-official-trailer-star-wars-the-bad-batch https://www.starwars.com/video/extraction-star-wars-the-bad-batch
Here are links to videos that have JPEG thumbnails instead, and don't have this issue: https://www.starwars.com/video/sizzle-the-bad-batch https://www.starwars.com/video/featurette-meet-the-the-bad-batch
One last thing - when I open one of those PNG thumnails with IrfanView, it says it is actually not a PNG, but a JPG. Maybe that's part of the issue?
