Both streams are downloaded. It's also not the first time I encounter this, it's just I checked the URLs with wget and saw 404, I have playback problems in my Media Player before but blamed incompatibility with XP.

I also remember that at least once I met the same error as with this Youtube URL but I reran ytdl with same CMD and my player started playback.

Both are base URLs to DASH files.
