I also have the same error but it seems that the error is thrown for a decent amount of the urls. Some urls like the test download (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaW_jenozKc) seems to work fine.

I was going to say it was a duration issue, cause i was able to get a 20 minute video, when my 1hr 12min video wasnt working, but the OG video was a 4min video that was having the same issue, so that isnt it.
