yt-dlp error "no good format found"

Good evening, I've been troubleshooting the following issue for hours:

yt-dlp error "Error while downloading YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch XYZ" ; no good format found

Unfortunately, Google and the forum haven't found a working solution yet.

Sinusbot runs in a Docker container, which has worked very well so far. Has anyone encountered this error or is familiar with it?

Happy Easter

Hi @Arpanus ,

I stumbled across your post by chance via Google searching for the error message (no good format found).
I had the exact same issue, also running via docker. Turns out the docker container provided by Sinusbot is outdated and comes with an unsupported Python version for yt-dlp.

I had success with this 3rd party docker image, in case you are still struggling with this:
https://github.com/DrWarpMan/sinusbot-docker
Just use the "drwarpman/sinusbot-docker" image in your compose file instead of the official one and it immediately worked for me.

Hope I could help. :)
