Huh. I'm on the latest release and every video I download fails with the SABR notice and link to the issue for it. Maybe it's regional?

YouTube a while back enforced some Captcha thing that broke yt-dlp without some other dependency. I'm on mobile right now and don't have the info on hand, but long story short I had the same issue and fixed it by downloading with dependencies.

Post a link that isn't working for you? Maybe I just haven't found a broken one...

What version of yt-dlp are you running?

Oh, you're right. It does work after updating. I was on 2025.12.08 which was the latest the last time I messed with it around that same time and saw that the SABR bug had been open since March of 2025. Still open so that was what I had been watching.

The 2026.02.04 build worked fine.

Still gonna keep my PT instance lol.
