Bug description
Hi vzhd1701,
in some cases I try to run any live stream or also video stream (On-Demand / Not live / Youtube) and the video/stream is not starting and runs into Buffering Timeout.
Example: I found this YT video URL which is not starting for me Video when using the default settings for Video/Streaming Videos/Stream Quality: Best. In this case the resolver YT-dlp is used (I can not change this to Streamlink etc) and trying to load the video with Best parameter. When it fails then I can switch the stream quality in context menu to a lower one 360p or 144p which then works. I think its a YT-dlp problem so it also happens when using YT-DL CLI version itsef. Below the file informations for this YT-URL

The best marked video (value: 22) fails and the other 2 streams V+A (value: 18 & 17) are working to play. I also added the errors of YT-dlp below into log excerpt window. I was also using the latest version YT-dlp... https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2022.07.18 ...not whether its really a bug of yt-dlp because its working mostly fine to play all 3 V+A streams but in some cases like this not. Maybe you can check this out what the problem is. Thank you.

Can't reproduce. Works OK for me with portable.
Do you have a custom yt-dlp config in your system? It should be at C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\yt-dlp, if not then search for anything with yt-dlp in your User profile directory.
So I have checked the same URL again today and now its working. Hhhmm. Strange. So the last two days it was not working to play the BEST stream option with YT-dlp and now it works. No I don't use and have any config on system for yt-dlp or anything. I'am just using raw direct commandlines when using CLI tools. I also got that problem in the past few times with YT or CB and a specific stream quality URL is not working as I told before. Must be a special case and YT-dlp will fail. Maybe just a char / special char issue to read the stream URL wrong or something like that or whatever. No problem of your tool itself. Maybe I can get some more infos when it happens again next time.
