Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Just want to start by stating I'm not sure if the above info is the --verbose info or not but it was all I could get to show up in my log. I was trying to download a playlist using default settings with the only thing changed on my end being subtitles by language set to English and set to embed into the video file also got the same error when deselecting this option and trying to download subtitles + playlist separate from each other. After a bit of forcing I got it to work by just trying to download everything for a 3rd time with the embed setting turned back on again.
