Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

TikTok songs and tag extractors do not work. They used to on my laptop, but on my *nix devices they do not work. I even used GitHub Actions to use a Windows runner to debug it, and it still doesn’t work.

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below
