- Legality: Always ensure you have permission to download the content. Do not attempt to bypass paywalls or access private account content, as this violates platform policies and potential copyright laws.

yt-dlpversion. If you receive a 'file not found' error, confirm that the path provided to the script matches your directory structure exactly.
