Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Most bitchute url's work, but some return 404 on the mp4 extraction. Looking at the page source, the 404 url is in there, as a webseed, but there is a working mp4 link in the HTML source tag.

They serve broken URLs as it does not play in browser either. Select another format.
