So now #Google#YouTube is pulling out all the stops to keep #ytdlp from working -__-

"Some tv client https formats have been skipped as they are DRM protected. Your account may have an experiment that applies DRM to all videos on the tv client. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/12563 for more details."

"Some web client https formats have been skipped as they are missing a url. YouTube is forcing SABR streaming for this client. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/12482 for more detail"

Some hero is out there on GitHub working on an SABR implementation and even has a PR ready, but FFS. This is getting to the point where I'd rather just blackhole YouTube entirely and wait for the next big thing, to hell with whatever I might miss out on.
