Does this happen always or just in this video because judging from the command it looks fine

Fore some videos. This is an example. I saw people looking for the same error in yt-dpl, ffmpeg and python itself

Well this app relies on ytdlp. Ytdlp has to fix the download process and it will work in the app too

As for me workaround is:

• open command from error log and copy it
• open Terminal and paste the command
• remove --embed-metadata from command and run it

In this case file will be downloaded and processed successfully.

It can't be the solution of your problem, still if it's working, I guess you can simply disable embed metadata from settings

I don't know what exactly does it embed. It tries to embed chapters, but I cannot see chapters in my podcatcher even if the issue is not reproduced.
