Description

Although I have had this work on 1 video, it seems yt can't retrieve the transcript (present in the YT UX) on most videos.

yt --transcript "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxzH_LJqeR8" | fabric --pattern extract_wisdom

"transcript": "Transcript not available. (transcript not found)"

Research direction

Reproduce the reported `yt --transcript` command with the provided YouTube URL and inspect the transcript-retrieval entry point. Compare the tool's result with the transcript available in YouTube's UX. Done means the command retrieves the transcript for this video and does not report "transcript not found."
