YouTubeTV giving "This Video Format is Not Supported" Error

[classicmaterial]

Just installed OBS on my Windows 10 system - had no problem loading up YouTubeTV and clicking on "Interact" to chose the program I want to do a recording of.

The little preview that shows up in the tiny box on YouTubeTV's landing page works but when I click on the actual program it says "This Video Format Is Not Supported".

I looked around and found the "Turn off Hardware Acceleration" recommendation which I did but that did not help.

I also installed Firefox and made it my default browser but that didn't help.

I also added AV1 from the Microsoft Store and that still didn't help.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

As I said in your other thread:

YouTubeTV - anyone able to rip from here?

I've done my googles and have found people in similar situations as me with being unable to record from YouTube TV so i was wondering if anyone here is actually able to download DVR'd content from YouTube TV Thank you!

That's probably copyright infringement. We don't support that here.

There seems to be a legal difference between (A) VCR'ing an analog "radio picture" broadcast for personal use (to watch later in the same setting), and (B) doing anything with an internet stream of the same content, besides watching it as it comes with no local storage. (A) is legal as long as it never goes beyond that. (B) is not. The key seems to be over-the-air radio vs. internet.
