sorry if i shouldve done something else to completely make sure this error wasnt related to yt-x, but i tried to reinstall yt-dlp using the latest binary for linux "2025.06.30", (as i had it installed via apt which has an older version on my distro "2025.05.22-1~mx23+1") and the error still happened, so my guess is it is related to yt-x (havent touched yt-x's config in some weeks, and same for yt-dlp's config file)

even after changing the yt-dlp config file, it still happens, this is all i have in my yt-dlp config

-S "res:720"
-S "vcodec:vp9"

i also tried to download the same video i wanted to open with yt-x, on yt-dlp with

yt-dlp 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNonfByE9xc' -o "b.webm"
# if im not wrong, this should still use the yt-dlp config file values to download the video, so would still download the 720p/vp9 file

this is the one that should be downloaded if im not mistaken

which downloaded the video just fine and could watch it normally on mpv

if this is helfpul:
distro: MX Libretto 23.6 x86_64 (mx linux)
terminal: kitty 0.42.1
yt-x v0.4.5 (latest version until now if im not wrong)
examples where i find this issue:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNonfByE9xc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIX1KWIfmi8

for the moment these are the only 2 i can find right now

please let me know if i missed some troubleshooting step or if i did something wrong, and thanks for making yt-x!
