@wukko was trying to reproduce it this morning, but it seems like it's working now. Just wild guessing but I know YT is having a war with ad blockers etc. Maybe that had something to do with it?

I'm seeing the same issue when trying to extract mp3 audio (or any audio-only) from YouTube
@wukko commented on GitHub (Jul 31, 2024):
@chiefy can you try again and if it still happens make a new issue and fill out the appropriate template?
@chiefy commented on GitHub (Jul 31, 2024):
@wukko will do - need to investigate a bit more.
