post the verbose output of the command you're using. |

Alrighty. Two outputs below, one for each operating system. I canceled the transfer after the connection had successfully established and the download had started. Windows

you don't have |

Uh,
What is |

there is a problem with you're installation and it has nothing to do with youtube-dl,

You're right. Googling that |
youtube-dl version 2019.11.28 is installed in both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 19.10. Both are installed directly from the download page (not using the Ubuntu package).
In Windows, most downloads default to hlsnative; for the few that don't I can set the
--hls-prefer-nativeoption and it works.In Ubuntu, hlsnative never works, even with the option set. youtube-dl displays this message:
WARNING: hlsnative has detected features it does not support, extraction will be delegated to ffmpegand then proceeds with ffmpeg. I installed
python-pycryptodome(which the Arch Linux AUR page says is necessary for hlsnative) but this didn't seem to do anything. youtube-dl always wants to use ffmpeg for extraction.What's missing to get hlsnative to work in Ubuntu?
