@remitamine Could you link to the issue this is a duplicate of?

Also I checked out #20266, which has been locked to collaborators only. Meaning if joe-public finds a fix he can't even post it.

I understand it's marked as "can't-reproduce" but simply marking my issue as a duplicate and closing it doesn't help anyone.

Meaning if joe-public finds a fix he can't even post it.

if someone found a fix he should send a PR to be integrated with youtube-dl and than the issue will be closed once a fix has been pushed.
