UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff:

with open(args.meta_csv, "r", encoding='ISO-8859-1') as f: df = pd.read_csv(f)

Thanks for your suggestion! We will fix it by using the following code to handle all encoding formats:

encodings = ['utf-8', 'ISO-8859-1', 'cp1252']
# Try using different encoding formats
for encoding in encodings:
    try:
        data = pd.read_csv(csv_file, encoding=encoding)
        break
    except UnicodeDecodeError:
        print(f"Error: {encoding} decoding failed, trying the next encoding format")

Thanks for the share. I tried the solution in that link.

In my case, do not use pip install youtube_dl, use python3 -m pip install --force-reinstall https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/archive/master.tar.gz if already install youtube_dl, uninstall it.

and modify the code of Line4 in download_data.py from import youtube_dl to import yt_dlp as youtube_dl
