Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information
e.g. this page has no YouTube trailer https://www.kinofondas.lt/filmas/filmas-8-minutes/ so youtube-dl downloads the movie the fine. Under --list-formats it lists one file with format mp4 and resolution unknown.
Same scenario, but a page with YouTube trailer included e.g. at https://www.kinofondas.lt/filmas/laikinai-/ and it downloads only the trailer from YouTube. It's not a coincidence, I tried multiple other pages that has no trailer and they all work, but as soon as there a page with YouTube trailer, the movie file gets ignored and only the trailer is downloaded, it also sees only YouTube formats under --list-formats.
tldr: somehow youtube trailer is blocking the video.
