[Franknxtn]

Is there a way i can get the steam URL without the downloading?

This shows up in log when i try to use this library.
Is this normal?

I guess you can ignore it. Maybe setting some environment variable to a writable path could fix it.

Looks like you can use this:

--cache-dir DIR                 Location in the filesystem where yt-dlp can
                                store some downloaded information (such as
                                client ids and signatures) permanently. By
                                default ${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/yt-dlp

I i try to extract info using extractInfo(url: URL) function, It works for first time. However, if i call this function in quick succession, the framework crashes.

Below is code sample i am using for link extraction:

 let youtubeDL: PythonObject = try await YtDlp().yt_dlp.YoutubeDL(["nocheckcertificate": true])
        
        let info = try PythonDecoder()
            .decode(
                Info.self,
                from: youtubeDL
                    .extract_info
                    .throwing
                    .dynamicallyCall(withKeywordArguments: ["": "WdFj7fUnmC0", "download": false])
            )

It returns me info object which contains [Format].

If i call above method in quick succession, it crashes randomly.

Can you show stack trace or other relevant console output?

[Franknxtn]

Sure, here are the stack traces:

[kewlbear]

Seems to me some kind of memory allocation or infinite loop issue.

I tried using this but it fails on certain non video urls due to the missing formats key in the response. Have you encountered this issue? I posted more details here:
