I just tried to download a youtube video and then the error appears

I can confirm this bug is present on my client as well. I think potentially the bridge is outdated.

seems like this is related to yt-dlp itself; see this issue on its repo

it looks like a workaround here is to use a plugin with yt-dlp, but i don't plan on integrating anything like that to the bridge (it's already pretty jank lol). most of the code in place for ezytdl should still work with executing a yt-dlp binary itself so the bridge could be bypassed, i can look into making a system to bring your own build of yt-dlp for issues like this

Still an issue, how to get around it?

In my experience, this issue is resolved with the latest versions of the bridge and ffmpeg. Try uninstalling and reinstalling or clearing cache files.
