Description

I'm trying to download the YouTube version of a YouTube Music song, which is available from this URL. It's not 100% consistent; the download usually works after a few tries, but I never have any issues when playing the video/song through YouTube or the Music client. Here's an output where the download successfully completes, executed a few minutes after the output shown above.

Including or excluding the format specifier doesn't appear to have any effect on the error rate.

Thanks so much; I love your program! <3

My bad; missed the sticky thread. --rm-cache-dir fixed the issue.
