Troubles facing video archival

[vxbinaca]

Over the last 72 hours I've been triaging two or three issues that have either come up on Youtubes end, or with dependencies of yt-dlp.

• ffmpeg in Ubuntu is incredibly stale (ffmpeg version n4.4.4-6-gd5fa6e3a91), causing failure to mux on some formats. Upgrading to a ffmpeg beyond 5.1 - so not just 5.1 - seems to fix this. You'll have to compile it, upgrade your distro, or switch to a distro with fresher packages (gentoo, arch, possibly Debian Sid).

The symptom of this issue is a item that has no video in it, this is due to the mux failure leaving .part files that we have safeties in place to not shove junk into IA. Tubeup users should be monitoring the output of their rips anyway. Removing the safety will merely upload junk .part files to IA, where the problem won't be immediately noticed until it's too late.

• Youtube is beginning to roll out anti-adblock that will cause a 403 errors for getting metadata. Unless the heros at yt-dlp come up with a bypass, you're going to have to sign up for Youtube Premium and use that cookie to bypass the anti-adblock. If this route is chosen we'd need to implement #310 but actually test that it works instead of breaking everything.

I would recommend signing up for Premium on a burner account, using a debit card you don't mind not being able to use if you're banned. Do not use your main accounts cookie.
