I think you have not updated to recent commit

Yes, it seems something is wrong to do the upgrade, though I still don't know if it has to do with my installation or with whisperx y/o pip:

!pip install git+https://github.com/m-bain/whisperx.git --upgrade --verbose

I have uninstalled whisperx and installed it again. Now I don't get the error of "unrecognized arguments" but a new one instead, regardless of trying to use the new arguments or not:

The previous issues had to do with the version of python (3.7), I have upgraded to version 3.8.16 and now everything works fine
