Question
Recently I was having trouble downloading a Youtube video which was running fine in a browser.
(Specifically
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOd1WkUcRzY.)The error message that kept occuring was
HTTP Error 404: Not Found.After a bit of digging I discovered that my use of
--youtube-skip-dash-manifestwas what was causing the problem.I don't know much about DASH, but I find it surprising that the reported error was a 404 rather than something more specific.
I don't think I really know enough about the subject to determine whether this is actually a bug or not.
Is the 404 expected behaviour?
