Downloads Fail Immediately

Server Version#: 4.77.3
Player Version#: 8.30.2.31202 (c9b75f7a)

Hello! I’ve been watch some YT videos by downloading them to my device and watching them offline. I recently learned that with my Plex Pass, I can download the YT videos to my PMS then use the Download feature to keep the next X unplayed episodes on my device. Great! I got the videos on to my server then I setup the download but it’s always failing. One video, 10 videos, original quality, a specified quality, greater than 2GB, less that 2GB. It always fails instantly with no error. The player just says “There was an error downloading this file. Swipe to remove or tap to retry.” Retrying does the same thing. I don’t think that transcoding is an issue because I can transcode a stream fine and the downloads fail the same in original quality. Thanks in advance for any help!

All attempts were done 3/22 between ~10pm and midnight.

The issue resolved itself after some time. Oh well.

I’m hitting the same issue, unfortunate that there’s no actual solution

I can’t download anything either on beta Android mobile client. If I disconnect wifi the download starts (very slowly)
