New version is coming soon (https://github.com/subhra74/xdm/discussions/768)
2/25/22
Describe the bug
Upon accessing youtube.com url, XDM will sense the video and display available download resolutions. Clicking the desired resolution starts the download. Once download is completed, running the saved file will open a blank window which should play audio and video but it does not. The saved file may or may not play audio depending on the media player used. Updated Klite codec pack 16.8.3 with MPC will not play the audio or video of the saved file. VLC 3.0.16 will play audio but no video. Windows Movie & TV application will only play audio no video. Windows Media Player will play audio no video.

**XDM also does not work correctly on CBS news video links - video only no audio https://www.cbsnews.com/video/pilot-program-pays-some-new-moms-1000-per-month/
Given that youtube-dl is not being update as much anymore you might be able to fix this by applying the same solution I suggested in this other thread https://github.com/subhra74/xdm/issues/828#issuecomment-1144565890
