The audio (and only the audio) for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LsYD3gFhuc fails to download. The video (and audio) plays fine in a browser. After running youtube-dl, the output is an mp4 file with no audio! :^(

I have also been experiencing this starting about 2-3 weeks ago and it's very annoying and inconsistent. It may work once, then audio is missing, then both audio and video are missing, then it works again.

I have a couple logs from mpv that I can upload on request. For now, this should do:

I should have mentioned that for me it's reliably reproducible - it doesn't ever work.

Format 251 you are requesting is not available. This is server-side YouTube issue. Select another format.

@FichteFoll that's normal. YouTube servers are not always stable, so there's a retry mechanism in youtube-dl.
