Description
I'm writing a simple youtube downloading tool on an express server and most of the videos I'm testing with are fine.
My script turns out the best video format with ytdl.getInfo and when i'm trying to download this with ytdl.downloadFromInfo and save it to file with fs.createWriteStream i'm getting a 0 bytes file. Other formats work for this video and download is fine.
Example video I used: owic2j9FcMg
itags 303 and 299 don't work, which both have the best quality.
Even with the quality option: 'highestvideo' it returns a 0 byte video.
I hope you can help me with that :)
