Have you tried using yt-dlp separately of the script to download the same video? Lately I’ve been having to add a specific yt-dlp argument in order to successfully download from YouTube. You may need to alter the script to include that argument.

See this issue: yt-dlp/yt-dlp#15012 (comment)

@theproductionprofessor is right. Here's what currently works for me @danutzzzzz , I replaces the scripts_init.bash with the ff:

#!/usr/bin/with-contenv bash
set -euo pipefail

#!/usr/bin/with-contenv bash
scriptVersion="1.4.5"
SMA_PATH="/usr/local/sma"

if [ -f /config/setup_version.txt ]; then
  source /config/setup_version.txt
  if [ "$scriptVersion" == "$setupversion" ]; then
    if apk --no-cache list | grep installed | grep opus-tools | read; then
      echo "Setup was previously completed, skipping..."
      exit
    fi
  fi
fi
echo "setupversion=$scriptVersion" > /config/setup_version.txt

set -euo pipefail

So basically get the latest script, paste it and add the following I mentioned. @RandomNinjaAtk what's your thought to this having it PR?
