Docker container no longer working

[bcarney66]

I've had a working system for quite some time, but now I find it is no longer downloading any videos. It's running in a Docker container, but truth be told, I'm out of my league on this one:

Any ideas on how to get it working again?

[mxpv]

Which container are you using?

[bcarney66]

I don't know how to answer the question, this is how it's run:

docker pull ghcr.io/mxpv/podsync:latest
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v P:/Docker/podsync/data:/app/data/ -v P:/Docker/podsync/config.toml:/app/config.toml ghcr.io/mxpv/podsync:latest

[mxpv]

Can you try ghcr.io/mxpv/podsync:nightly ?

That did not change anything:

I went as far as deleting the container and image, and then rebooting the computer. I still get the "time="2026-08-19T19:13:29Z" level=error msg="youtube-dl error: /tmp/podsync-3194222474/7nww8Syms8I.%(ext)s" error="failed to execute youtube-dl: exit status 1"" error.
