This is an issue with youtubedl for this site, not archivebox, you can submit an issue on their issue tracker to request help.

AB just uses whatever version of YTDL is installed, so if you update it to a version that fixes this bug then it should work fine with AB. You can confirm it's not ab related by copying the command that AB generates next to "Run this command to see the full error output", if YTDL fails then it's not a bug in AB. If YTDL succeeds, then post back here and I'll reopen the issue to investigate why it fails under AB but succeeds on its own.
