Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

This used to work like a week ago, so I assume something changed. I skimmed the commit messages since the release I'm using but didn't see anything CR-specific so I'm also assuming trying to finagle a nightly build onto my machine wouldn't help.

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

Crunchyroll transitioned away from beta according to this. Does the url still work for you in the browser? If not, that PR should fix it once it is done.

[SamusAranX]

Just saw that PR as well. I'm just gonna wait for the next release, I don't care enough about these episodes to mess with more recent builds.

Same underlying issue as #5292
