This issue isn't related; yours has to do with a broken install of yt-dlp (which could have been caused by an earlier version of the app)

Sorry for never providing a response here; I haven't been able to figure this out for the life of me. I've had friends also report the exact same issue using very different versions of the app, so I'm at a loss. Will try to look further into it
