1 month ago Note: A peer of mine has pointed out that yt-dlp supports downloading "1080p (Premium)" quality video streams, and so if the video has such a quality setting, it will pass the protected stream to FFmpeg, which will of course fail to download it because it doesn't know how to.
This would also need to be somehow addressed, either by figuring out how to download the protected stream using FFmpeg, or preventing yt-dlp from returning the Premium quality video stream. It should be noted that the stream ID for 1080p Premium is 616.

Likely due to changes on YouTube's end, the current version of
youtube-dl(used to acquire the video and audio streams) can no longer extract the information necessary to complete a download.While the
youtube-dlapp recommends running an update, this does not (currently) fix the issue. This is because the pip package is no longer updated. The latest version for this package is2021.12.17, whereas the current ytdl-nightly release is at version2024.07.11, which has recently received an nsig update which presumably fixes the bug. However, I couldn't find an official pip package for the nightly builds. In fact, the repo hosting these builds explicitly claims that "These nightly releases are not available through package managers like brew."I believe that the easiest solution to this problem that requires the least amount of changes is to switch to a fork of
youtube-dlknown asyt-dlpwhich is significantly more robust. It has a pip package and as far as I'm aware the only change necessary would be to import the new module, as the components of theyt-dlpfork that are used by this project have the exact same shape.Application version: 1.1.10
