Hi, I've searched through every response I could find regarding this issue but couldn't seem to find anything concrete. For clarity, the issue is NOT that this happens every single time, but that it seems to only be happening on one account and only via packaged python?

URL in question: https://www.pscp.tv/10DowningStreet/1BRJjQvAPpgGw

I am trying to grab the .m3u8 stream urls from this account everyday. In command-line this is simple as I'm just running with the -g command. This works fine. When I run this URL through the python code in below it also produces the URL just fine. However, when I run through once the code has been packaged with pyinstaller I am getting a 400 Error.

If this were happening with all periscope URLs it would be understandable, but it is just this account.

I've included the minimal STDOUT just as proof the code is recieving the right URL.

Version: 2020.3.24

STDOUT:
[periscope] 1BRJjQvAPpgGw : Downloading JSON metadata the finalurl recieved is: https://www.pscp.tv/10DowningStreet/1BRJjQvAPpgGw

Python code:
ydl_opts = {
'cachedir': False,
'geo_bypass': True,
'forceurl': True,
}

        with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
            r = ydl.extract_info(finalurl, False)
            print (r['formats'][-1]['url'])

        sys.stdout.flush()
