@dirkf This is the error message I see: (this command line was working perfectly fine 24hrs ago when run in CMD)
CONFIRMED.
Issue seems to have resolved itself.
I agree with @taxhelp101 , we need to analyze what the root cause of the interruption in recording was so that we can prevent it from happening again.
It seems that something is wrong with chaturbate’s backend. I’ve tried using “moniturbate” software to record rooms and the software isn’t letting me. I’m going to copy and paste what dirkf asked for and that is all of the code that youtube-dl throws out after including the “–verbose” flag.

Hopefully you guys can figure out what is going on here because I was recording rooms up until last night. When I woke up this morning, no luck. They put the kibosh on Chaturbate.
Please complete the template if you want help. Not everyone has mind-reading powers that work across the internet to help them guess what actually didn’t work for you.
