ERROR: Invalid IPv6 URL When Accessing banned.video

[barsnick]

or provide a USE flag that disables IPv6 all together (-ipv6)?

How about:

--force-ipv4

Too bad we don't see which URL it is actually trying to parse.

But all that said:
I can reproduce this on an IPv6-enabled machine. Perhaps this is due to the fact that yp-dlp is trying to extract M3U8 formats from an actual MP4 file. I'm just guessing from what I see with --write-pages (also with --force-ipv4):

That last request is an MP4 file, not am M3U8.

right click on the word download and select "copy link address"
and retry downloading the video yt-dlp. "https://download.assets.video/videos/f76d6efa-4a87-4fd8-8da2-5ff359a98703.mp4?direct=true" the video will now download.

Thanks for sharing, you're right, however that's a direct link to the mp4 file itself, I could just use wget instead of yt-dlp in that instance. The reason I'm using yt-dlp is to download the video based off the video page URL instead of drilling down into each individual video page and obtaining the direct link to the mp4. Using yt-dlp to download based off the video page URL makes it easier to download entire categories. Otherwise I'd have to obtain the mp4 link for each individual video myself making yt-dlp unnecessary, since I could simply use wget after obtaining a list of all the mp4 urls.
