Why is the parameter --hls-prefer-native required?

Right. But the error is reproducible with other online videos, such as the following URL: https://www.pbs.org/video/pandora-papersmassacre-in-el-salvador-v2wjzz

Interesting. Not sure why it can download some videos but not others. I filed an issue over at yt-dlp. BTW, nice repo you have there! Starred.

Why is the parameter --hls-prefer-native required?

Please, study your posted logs more carefully šŸ˜‰ ;

IOW, your youtube-dl.exe binary can't locate a ffmpeg.exe binary to use as HLS downloader - [hlsnative] works, because it's a pure Python-based implementation, already compiled inside your yt-dl binary...

Should you wish to use ffmpeg, place a precompiled Windows binary (suitable for your OS version and architecture) adjacent to youtube-dl.exe or on another PATH of your choosing; in the latter case, the PATH must be given to yt-dl either via a cmdline flag ( --ffmpeg-location PATH) or inside a config file, if such exists...

Be also aware that the lack of ffmpeg on your yt-dl setup means many post-processing functions (e.g. repackaging streams to other container, muxing separately downloaded V+A elementary streams) won't be possible, either...

While I do appreciate your coding efforts and feel you genuinely wish to help people fetch things for which yt-dl, in its current state, has handicaps with (rather than simply promote your "own" solution[s]), please don't turn this into a pis*ing contest šŸ˜‰ ; BTW, I'd really appreciate it if you'd be king enough to also release win32 editions of your "tools" (as currently am in a 32-bit WinOS...).
