YouTube Youtube Download Failure on a 4K HDR video

[MrGrackle]

Never seen this error before..."expected string or bytes-like object"
Version 6159.

[MrGrackle]

Tried again, FAILED AGAIN.
Video download is successful with Open Video Downloader, which is also a YT-DLP front end. Would I get the same results with 6161?
Download speed was also significantly faster with OVD too.

You had a failure on your I: drive (temp drive). Then SF was expecting one type of parameter and received another.
Other than that, I don't support 6.1.5.9.

Thanks for looking. Any clue what the bytes-like object means? I do not necessarily see that as a drive error, just a wtf error.
Is a Samsung SSD. The fact another program downloaded the file just fine baffles me. I ended up dumping the file as it was a poor encode, but that's not the point.

did you try the latest version of streamfab version 6.1.6.3 ?? video fails for me also.
tried with media downloader, failed twice until i used the default options (webm)
video downloads ok, music is ok but the video is like a stop motion type video
when played on windows media player.

I stayed at 6161. I have enough content to keep me busy.
As far as YT, as of a couple days ago it was still working OK.
Every so often I use the program in post 2, but that is for vp9, not av1, and thus far that program works 100%.
